Current Transformer (CT) - JA Model

 

Description

This component models a current transformer based on the Jiles-Atherton theory of ferromagnetic hysteresis.  The effects of saturation, hysteresis remenance and minor loop formation are modeled based on the physics of the magnetic material.  

 

Measured primary current (in kA) is the input to the model and the output is the secondary current (in Amps) through the relay.
