Electrical Elements
The Inductor block models a linear inductor, described with the following equation:
where
| I | Current |
| V | Voltage |
| L | Inductance |
| t | Time |
The Initial current parameter sets the initial current through the inductor.
Note This value is not used if the solver configuration is set to Start simulation from steady state. |
The Series resistance and Parallel conductance parameters represent small parasitic effects. The series resistance can be used to represent the DC winding resistance. The parallel conductance across the inductor can be used to model insulation conductance. Simulation of some circuits may require the presence of a small parallel conductance. For more information, see Modeling Best Practices.
Connections + and – are conserving electrical ports corresponding to the positive and negative terminals of the inductor, respectively. The current is positive if it flows from positive to negative, and the voltage across the inductor is equal to the difference between the voltage at the positive and the negative terminal, V(+) – V(–).
Inductance, in henries. The default value is 1 µH.
Initial current through the inductor. This parameter is not used if the solver configuration is set to Start simulation from steady state. The default value is 0.
Represents small parasitic effects. The series resistance can be used to represent the DC winding resistance. The default value is 0.
Represents small parasitic effects. The parallel conductance across the inductor can be used to model insulation conductance. Simulation of some circuits may require the presence of a small parallel conductance. The default value is 1e-9 1/Ω.
The block has the following ports:
Electrical conserving port associated with the inductor positive terminal.
Electrical conserving port associated with the inductor negative terminal.
