Description

Block Inductor simulates a linear inductor described by the following equation:

Where:

  • — tension;

  • — inductance;

  • — current;

  • — Time.

The parameters Series resistance and Parallel conduction reflect small parasitic effects. Series resistance can be used to represent the ohmic resistance of the winding or the resistance caused by the skin effect. Modeling some circuits may require a small parallel conductivity.

Ports + and correspond to the positive and negative terminals of the inductor, respectively. The current is positive if it flows from positive to negative, and the voltage on the coil is equal to the potential difference on the positive and negative terminals .

Ports

+ — positive
electricity

The electrical port represents the positive terminal of the coil.

— negative
electricity

The electrical port represents the positive terminal of the coil.

Parameters

Inductance — inductance of the coil
1e-6 Gn (by default) | positive | scalar

The value of the inductance of the coil.

Series resistance — serial resistance
0 (by default) | non-negative | scalar

Parasitic sequential resistance. The series resistance can be used to represent the ohmic resistance of the winding or the resistance caused by the skin effect.

Parallel conduction — parallel conduction
1e-9 1/ohm (by default) | non-negative | scalar

Parasitic parallel conductivity. Modeling some circuits may require a small parallel conductivity.

Initial value of current i — initial current value of the i pass block:q[<br>] 0 (by default)

The initial value of the block current . The total current through the coil and the parallel conductivity.

Initial value of voltage v — initial value of voltage v
0 (by default)

Initial voltage value .

Initial value of inductor current iL — initial value of coil current iL
0 (by default)

The initial value of the coil current . Coil current without regard to parallel conductivity.
