Transformers and Electric power Ltspice

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on troubleshooting energy conversion efficiency issues in an LTspice circuit involving transformers. The user reports that the output power (P2) is significantly lower than expected, achieving only 90% efficiency when the flyback diode is removed. Participants suggest checking the file format, advising to delete the ".dox" extension for proper viewing of the LTspice file. There is a request for a PDF screenshot of the circuit and analysis to better understand the problem. The conversation emphasizes the importance of file management and circuit analysis in resolving simulation discrepancies.

Hi, i was looking for the Energy conversion efficiency of my circuit in Ltspice, but i find out that my Transformers is giving me strange power values i mean with K = 1 the P1 should be equel to P2 but in my case P2 is is way too small , i get equality 90% only if get rid of the Flyback diode, can you please help me understand the reason behind this

why is your file saved as a .asc.dox ?

how should i save it? it is a an asc ltspice file delete the the .dox and you should be able to see it

Can you post a PDF of a screenshot of the circuit and of your analysis?

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
