Following the exchanges on SEB, about autotransformers, and turns ratio,
I wrote these models.
The subckts should run on any SPICE which supports .param and rser/rpar.
The .asy files are for LTspice. The symbols should pick up the subckts
without any need for a .lib directive.
The first is simpler, requiring primary inductance, turns ratio, and
primary resistance.
The second example attempts to incorporate separate copper and iron
losses, and leakage inductance.
These could start as a base for developing multi-tapped, or compound
(auto plus double-wound) transformer models. I think Paul uses those.

If you're serious about usenet, get a proper news feed, and newsreader.

I won't be paying for another edition of Agent. ?-)
