Description

The Three-Winding Mutual Inductor block represents a set of three coupled inductors or windings. The voltage across the three windings is

V1=L1dI1dt+M12dI2dt+M13dI3dtV2=M12dI1dt+L2dI2dt+M23dI3dtV3=M13dI1dt+M23dI2dt+L3dI3dt

where:

  • Vi is voltage across the ith winding.

  • Ii is current through the ith winding.

  • Li is self inductance of the ith winding.

  • Mij is mutual inductance of the ith and jth windings, Mij=KijLiLj.

In the preceding equations, currents are positive when flowing into the positive node of their respective inductor terminals.

When you run a simulation that includes this block, the software checks the specified parameter values to ensure that the resulting device is passive. If it is not, the software issues an error.
