Primary Winding
(To be removed) Linear nonideal transformer winding
The Primary Winding block will be removed in a future release. Use the Winding, Eddy Current, and Fundamental Reluctance blocks instead. To learn how to create a custom transformer without this block, refer to Push-Pull Buck Converter in Continuous Conduction Mode.

Description
The Primary Winding block models linear nonideal winding of a transformer with linear winding leakage and linear core magnetization effects. Although magnetization effects occur in the magnetic core, it is common practice to place mathematically equivalent electrical components on the electrical winding and parameterize them using electrical parameters. The figure shows the equivalent circuit diagram for the primary winding.
Rl
is the leakage resistance.Ll
is the leakage inductance.Rm
is the magnetization resistance.Lm
is the magnetization inductance.
Variables
To set the priority and initial target values for the block variables before simulation, use the Initial Targets section in the block dialog box or Property Inspector. For more information, see Set Priority and Initial Target for Block Variables.
Nominal values provide a way to specify the expected magnitude of a variable in a model. Using system scaling based on nominal values increases the simulation robustness. You can specify nominal values using different sources, including the Nominal Values section in the block dialog box or Property Inspector. For more information, see System Scaling by Nominal Values.
