SW/SW_ST: This model represents a simple switch (SW) and a switch with hysteresis (SW_ST). You can set the on-resistance (RON), off-resistance (ROFF), switching time (TON, TOFF), and hysteresis voltage (VH) for the SW_ST model.
S1: This model represents a controlled switch with a single control voltage. You can define the relationship between the control voltage and the switch state.
SW_PWM: This model represents a switch driven by a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal. You can specify the PWM frequency, duty cycle, and delay time.
2. SPICE User-Defined Model:
You can create a SPICE user-defined model to describe the specific characteristics of your fast mechanical switch. This allows you to include details like contact bounce, arcing, and other non-ideal behaviors.
3. External Models:
Several third-party libraries provide SPICE models for various switches, including fast mechanical switches. Some popular options include:ModelOn!: Offers a wide range of switch models, including SPST, SPDT, and complex switches with multiple contacts. SwCAD: Provides SPICE models for various electromechanical components, including switches, relays, and contactors.
Here are some additional tips for finding the appropriate switch model:
Identify the specific type of fast mechanical switch used in your hybrid breaker.
Consult the manufacturer's datasheet for the switch specifications.
Consider the level of accuracy required for your simulation.
Look for models that include relevant parameters like switching time, contact bounce, and resistance.
Test different models and compare the results to validate your simulation.
