Description

The Ideal Transformer block models an ideal power-conserving transformer, described with the following equations:

where

V1	Primary voltage
V2	Secondary voltage
I1	Current flowing into the primary + terminal
I2	Current flowing out of the secondary + terminal
N	Winding ratio

This block can be used to represent either an AC transformer or a solid-state DC to DC converter. To model a transformer with inductance and mutual inductance terms, use the Mutual Inductor block.

The two electrical networks connected to the primary and secondary windings must each have their own Electrical Reference block.

Dialog Box and Parameters

Winding ratio

Winding ratio of the transformer, or ratio of primary coil turns to secondary coil turns. The default value is 1.

Ports

The block has four electrical conserving ports. Polarity is indicated by the + and – signs.
