| Sep 11, 2022 at 7:43 | comment | added | PStechPaul | No further discussion is necessary. You are using many features of LTspice that I am not familiar with. Perhaps parts of your answer would be better moved or copied to a separate question about how to use LTspice to simulate and analyze non-linear inductors. I'm still trying to "grok" what you did - I've always had problems with magnetic concepts. Thanks. | |
| Sep 11, 2022 at 7:07 | comment | added | a concerned citizen | @PStechPaul I have to say I'm surprised hearing you say that you're not familiar with LTspice, since it's the program you are using. I've updated my answer, though, hopefully it's more clear. I also don't see any obscured axes. Dimmed, yes, but readable. The only thing I missed was the scaling for I(L*), it should have been 1m, not 10m but, the purpose was showing the differences, not measuring. | |

| Sep 11, 2022 at 3:20 | comment | added | PStechPaul | Not trying to argue, but I am having a hard time correlating your six little simulations with the two graphs. Some of the axis labels are obscured, and I don't see how the simulations can produce those results. But I'm not familiar with your simulator. | |
| Sep 10, 2022 at 9:54 | comment | added | a concerned citizen | @PStechPaul I said "before edit", so bringing the "after edit" argument shows you haven't read everything. And it's not about reading the whole link, it's about the examples, if the one I posted is not clear. I'm sorry to see that you'd rather shift the blame than accept a fault. It really is not me, it's you. But, I fully agree about "let's drop it". | |
| Sep 10, 2022 at 8:59 | comment | added | PStechPaul | I did check the link but didn't read every post. If you think my latest schematic is also "ugly", then I don't know what else I can do to satisfy your requirements. Maybe you can post your idea of a "nice" LTspice schematic. I appreciate your help but I think you are being too critical. Let's just drop this here and not get into a continued argument. | |
| Sep 10, 2022 at 8:47 | comment | added | a concerned citizen | @PStechPaul Would "ugly" be a less "disrespectful" word? Because that's how your schematics are, before edit. If you "usually take care", what stopped you from doing it now? No, I was not disrespectful. You were, by forcing the people who volunteer their free time to decipher through your spaghettified schematics. You've been a while here and you know how it works. But if you insist in pointing the finger the other way, by all means. You haven't checked the link, have you? | |

| Sep 10, 2022 at 8:34 | comment | added | PStechPaul | @aconcernedcitizen: I think I got the Chan simulation working. See latest edit of question. Thanks. | |
| Sep 9, 2022 at 22:12 | comment | added | PStechPaul | I usually take great care to present a neat schematic, but mostly these were to produce the graphs of the current and voltage waveforms and values such as power, all of which are explained in the text. It's really a simple circuit for a phase fired SCR controller and bridge rectifier followed by an inductor, capacitor, and resistive load. Perhaps I can use smaller text for part types and spread out the components. But I think it is rather disrespectful and antagonistic to describe them as "hideous". Please try to be nice... | |

| Sep 9, 2022 at 7:50 | comment | added | a concerned citizen | @PStechPaul The fact that your schematics work well for you is irrelevant when presenting them to third parties -- then you have to ensure that they are readable without accompanying headaches. That is to say, the cleaner they are, the more considerate you are towards those 3rd parties. Wouldn't you agree? (also see this) | |
| Sep 9, 2022 at 7:46 | comment | added | PStechPaul | Sorry if you don't like my schematics, but they have worked well for me. I do appreciate the answers to my problem simulating a real inductor, and I'll see how they work out for my purposes. I have always had some problems grasping inductor and transformer behavior. This will certainly help. Thanks. | |
