Flux Rate Meter
Purpose
Output the measured rate-of-change of magnetic flux
Library
Magnetic
Description
The Flux Rate Meter measures the rate-of-change of the magnetic flux
through the component and provides it as a signal at the output. The direction of a
positive flux is indicated with a small arrow in the component symbol. The output
signal can be made accessible in Simulink with an Output block or by dragging the
component into the dialog box of a Probe block.
The magnetic flux cannot be measured directly in the circuit. However, most
permeance components provide the magnetic flux as a probe signal.
Note The Flux Rate Meter is ideal, i.e. it has infinite internal permeance. Hence, if multiple Flux Rate Meters are connected in parallel the flux through an individual meter is undefined. This produces a run-time error.
Probe Signals
- Flux rate
- The rate-of-change
of magnetic flux flowing through the component, in Wb/s or V.
