Coupled inductors

It would be nice to have an option to link few inductors without building these https://www.circuitlab.com/circuit/3478pw/multi-winding-transformer-02/ This is not a convenient solution at all.

Hi @cclab2014, yes, there is a much simpler solution for making coupled inductors.

You simply need to create a Parameter Element with a name like K L1 L2 and set its value to 1 (or whatever coupling coefficient you'd like).

Here's one example that uses two inductors to simulate something like a 5:1 transformer:

Here's another example that uses three inductors to simulate a center-tapped transformer:

Give those simulations a try and see if that works for you!

Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for.
