L: Inductor

Syntax

Lxxxxxxx n+ n- value
Lxxxxxxx n+ n- expression
Lxxxxxxx n+ n- value {II=initial-current}
.INDuctor label n+ n- expression

Purpose

Inductor, or general flux storage element.

Probes

The following probes are available in addition to those available for all basic elements.

DT

Time step. The internal time step used for this device for numerical integration. It is not necessarily the same as the global time step.

TIME

Time. The time of the most recent calculation of this device. It is not necessarily the same as the global time.

TIMEOLD

The time of the previous calculation of this device. It is not necessarily the same as the global time.

Comments

N+ and n- are the positive and negative element nodes, respectively. Value is the inductance in Henries.

The (optional) initial condition is the initial (time = 0) value of the inductor current (in Amperes). Note that the initial conditions (if any) apply only if the UIC option is specified on the transient command.
