Re: Regarding basic simulation of ACST
Yes, correct gate is auto biased for full AC signal (no phase control) & just switching mains voltage to load ON/ OFF which is main function of ACST rather than phase control. jagdish

Re: Regarding basic simulation of ACST
Yes, ACST device is bit different from Triac. It is specific AC switch just used to ON/OFF mains supplies to load.? Some more information about that,

Hello Andy, I will take care of no uploading RAW or LOG or . NET files. Also I am aware of fixing time step too small errors, thanks for providing the document again. However, my basic idea here was

Re: Square wave into a bridge rectifier (by member "FlightRisk")
Fred, By moving the ground connection from below C1 to below V1, you also need to change your .IC statement, so that the initial voltage is applied across the capacitor: .ic V(C1node,N002)=0 You don't

Hmmm. Like I said, I have a lot to learn about the software. I uploaded capacitor_charging.asc to the files section. What I have in that schematic works. I can create a current probe in the resistor

Thank you for correcting my mistake in posting. I was coming back to say I found the issue and have a tad more to learn about LTSpice. I figured you could only have one ground, but put it on the input

Square wave into a bridge rectifier (by member "FlightRisk")
Someone named "FlightRisk" attempted to send a message to the [LTspice] group an hour ago, wondering why there are "wild voltages and currents" with her/his rectifier circuit.? But they probably did

Re: Difference between finding DC point before AC, and pure DC simulation
Over the years I've noticed all versions of SPICE appear to use different algorithms to solve the DC bias point for .dc, .ac, and .tran analyses. The use of the .savebias and .loadbias commands can be

Re: Ohms/volt? (was: Spark gap physics.)
Ohms per volt is a figure of merit for moving coil voltmeters. The number is dominated by the resistance of the moving coil; that is the input resistance on the most sensitive scale divided by the

Hello! Question is simple, I have a circuit (I can't upload it here due to company restrictions unfortunately), and it perfectly converges in DC analysis, even if I start it not from the zero voltages

Re: Ohms/volt? (was: Spark gap physics.)
Ohms being Volts per Ampere, Ohms per Volts would resolve as 1/Ampere. As you say, I don't know that a unit has been deemed useful for Ampere power minus one

Re: Ohms/volt? (was: Spark gap physics.)
Well, it¡¯s the reciprocal of current, which is a rather obscure unit. It used to be common as a figure of merit for (analog, moving coil!) milli- or micro-ammeters. The higher the number, the

To be clear, I am not talking about the sort of 'design' posted by ik.weide. I mean choosing the core size and material, and the number of turns of the gauge of wire that will fit on the bobbin.
