Description
Block Inductor simulates a linear inductor described by the following equation:
where
-
— tension;
-
— inductance;
-
— current;
-
— the time.
The Series resistance and Parallel conduction parameters reflect small parasitic effects. Series resistance can be used to represent the ohmic resistance of a winding or the resistance caused by a skin effect. Modeling some circuits may require a small amount of parallel conduction.
Ports + and − represent the positive and negative terminals of the inductor, respectively. The current of the inductor is considered positive if it flows from the positive terminal to the negative one, and the voltage on the inductor is equal to the potential difference at the ports. .
Variables
Use the Initial Targets parameter group to set the priority and initial target values for the block parameter variables before modeling. For more information, see Configuring physical blocks using target values.
