Re: Changing the mutual inductance coefficient of K statements with time

 

On Win98 systems - NO PROBLEM, found every file containing the text.

On WinXP Pro - NEVER found the files!!! [using that obnoxious 'puppy' search tool]
[Note: the identical files are mirrored/synced on ALL machines] To verify, I went to
the known files, and yes, the words were in the files, but that !@#$#!@#$ WinXP
search puppy NEVER found the files !!!

Again you see, why I use the Win98 systems?

Anyway a heads up, I was told on the WinXP group that searching always fails and to
use a different search tool, 3rd party, Agent Ransack. {?]
I suspect that what you are seeing is the difference in security systems that exist from WinXP onwards where files in the 'program Files' and 'Program Files (x86)' directories are considered to not be data files, and if your installation has put the data files there (by implication from your statement about files being synched across systems) then they may well be ignored by tools looking for data files.

Feel free to use a system that has no basic security against virus infestation such as your Win98 machine if that is the way you want to work.


Re: Changing the mutual inductance coefficient of K statements with time

 

John,

I just went through this on our systems here, too.

Did a search for 'content' of files, in my case all were text files, looking for a specific phrase.
so I was looking inside *.txt for "paramagnetic" to appear anywhere.

Power measurements in a SMPS transformer

 

I have a simulation of a open loop SMPS that I would like to know the transformer losses, but using the following script gives an efficiency of >100%.....which I know is not true.

After digging a bit I came across a example in the files area for AC power, complex_power1_meas-1.asc. But the notes state "Steady State Power Calculation With Pure Sine Voltages And Linear Components".

My question is will this same approach work for a rectangle waveform?


.param mes_start=6m mes_end=9.9m

.meas TRAN Vrms_pri RMS V(vpri1,vpri2) from {mes_start} to {mes_end}
.meas TRAN Irms_pri RMS I(L1) from {mes_start} to {mes_end}
.meas Ppri PARAM Vrms_pri*Irms_pri

.meas TRAN Vrms_can RMS V(vac_can1,vac_can2) from {mes_start} to {mes_end}
.meas TRAN Irms_can RMS I(L2) from {mes_start} to {mes_end}
.meas Pcan PARAM Vrms_can*Irms_can

.meas TRAN Vrms_rs RMS V(vac_rs1,vac_rs2) from {mes_start} to {mes_end}
.meas TRAN Irms_rs RMS I(L3) from {mes_start} to {mes_end}
.meas Prs PARAM Vrms_rs*Irms_rs

.meas eff_tx PARAM (Pcan+Prs)/Ppri


Re: Changing the mutual inductance coefficient of K statements with time

 

Is there a way to check BEFORE using a name whether there is a collision with that same name used somewhere else?

For example, in octave you type
who name
or,
who n*
and every use will pop up for you

Is there a way to do that in LTspice?

It works in this case, but don't use X or x for an independent variable,
because it has a special meaning in some contexts. {K} or {KA} work.

Hello,

I am an electronics engineer and I work on wireless power supplies. For one of my simulations, I want to couple two inductors and I would like to simulate the design for various values of K.

Could someone please let me know why I can not use the following syntax as an LTSPICE directive?

K L1 L2 V(Var)

Where Var is a voltage source I have specified in the simulation circuit and it is a PWL (ramp function).

This syntax works for a variable resistor. I am wondering whether it is actually possible to apply the same logic to a coupling coefficient of the K statement.

Please help !!

Thank you.

Re: Changing the mutual inductance coefficient of K statements with time

 

Falcon, what you surely can do is to uses parameter for K that you can change for each simulation (or even make several runs for this parameter:

K12 L1 L2 {k12}

.param k12=0.9

I hope that this helps.

Falcon,

The correct syntax for assigning a variable to the coupling factor is:
K1 L1 L2 {Var}
.step param Var StartVal StopVal Inc ; substitute your own values

... same as it is for any other component value.

Re: Changing the mutual inductance coefficient of K statements with time

 

Hi Jerry,
?
Thanks for the reply. The problem is, with wireless power supplies, the coupling between the primary and the secondary windings are very week. Therefore I can not get a figure for the leakage inductance.?( Ie: in a flyback transformer, I can short circuit the secondary and measure the primary inductance at 100kHz and use that figure for simulation with another uncoupled inductor put in series with my flyback primary inductor). However this method wont work for wireless power supplies as the coupling is very week. (If I short circuit my reciever coil and measure the inductance of the power transmitter track, the difference of inductance is miniscule.
?
Is there any other way of doing this? I can of course simulate for various values of k but I am very curious.
?
cheers,
?

Re: Changing the mutual inductance coefficient of K statements with time

 

I have a feeling you should explicit the leakage inductances (i.e.
making them visible components in the schemo) and apply the statement to
them.
