transformer pspice
hello all,
i am using orcad PSpice v10.0 and am trying to model a non-linear transformer using the Advanced Analysis tools. i see there are many different cores to choose from, but i do not understand how they relate to core datasheets?
for example, from the advanced anlaysis CORE library, i find this core:
ETD29_3C85
i see it is of shape ETD, with size 29. i assume 3C85 is the material type. do all transformer manufacturers use the same definitions? for example, material type "3C85" (assuming this IS the material type) is the same for magnetics inc., TDK, ferroxcube etc etc. ?
also, i am looking for a step by step tutorial on how to use Advanced Analysis tools with transformer designs. i have a document that indicates its capable of "optimizing" the circuit such that it chooses the correct gap and # of turns to maintain stability and load regulation. how cool! but how to do this?
can anyone recommend some good "how to model non-linear transformers" with Pspice?
but what about core model "K3019PL_3C8" the only thing that looks familiar is material type "3C8". who makes this transformer, what shape is it, how do i find datasheet?? its completely confusing.
thx
