Switch - Simulate switch controlled by external physical signal

Library

Electrical Elements

Description

The Switch block models a switch controlled by an external physical signal. If the external physical signal PS is greater than zero, then the switch is closed, otherwise the switch is open.

Dialog Box and Parameters

Closed resistance R_closed

The resistance of the switch when it is closed. The parameter value must be greater than zero. The default value is 0.01 Ω.

Open conductance G_open

The conductance of the switch when it is open. The parameter value must be greater than zero. The default value is 1e-8 1/Ω.

Ports

The block has two electrical conserving ports and one physical signal port PS.
