Figure 1.
A schematic diagram illustrates an electrical circuit model with resistances, inductances, flux paths, and a transformer section.The diagram depicts an electrical equivalent circuit beginning at input terminals with voltage u of t and current i of t. A winding resistance R w is in series with a leakage inductance L k. The circuit then splits into two parallel branches. The first branch contains a core loss resistance R c. The second branch contains a magnetizing inductance L h in series with a hysteresis loss resistance R h, and a nonlinear element s of phi m. Arrows indicate magnetic flux directions, with phi m for the main flux and phi h for the hysteresis flux. On the far right, the circuit connects to a partial transformer representation.

Note(s): The input voltage u is applied to the system, which invokes a corresponding output current i⁠. The ohmic winding resistance is denoted by Rw and Lk describes the leakage flux. The parameters Rh and Lh capture the hysteresis effect, while Re is used to model the eddy current losses. The function sϕm⁠, where ϕm denotes the magnetic flux present in the core at any time instance, introduces the saturation. The primary side of the transformer is not included
