Purpose
Two-winding transformer.
Library
Passive Components
Description
This transformer models two coupled windings on the same core. The
magnetization inductance and the core loss resistance are modeled as
linear elements. Their values are referred to the primary side. A stiff solver is
recommended if is not infinite.
The electrical circuit for this component is given below:
In the transformer symbol, the primary side winding is marked with a little circle.
The secondary side winding is marked with a dot.
Parameters and Dialog Box
Leakage inductance A two-element vector containing the leakage inductance of
the primary side and the secondary side . The inductivity is given in
henries (H).
Winding resistance A two-element vector containing the resistance of the
primary winding and the secondary winding , in ohms ().
Winding ratio The ratio between the number of turns of the primary
and secondary winding.
Magnetization inductance The magnetization inductance , in henries (H).
The value is referred to the primary side.
Core loss resistance An equivalent resistance representing the iron losses in
the transformer core. The value in ohms () is referred to the primary side.
Initial current A two-element vector containing the initial currents on the
primary side and the secondary side , in amperes (A). The currents are
considered positive if flowing into the transformer at the marked terminals. The
default is [0 0].
