Model Modelica.Electrical.Machines.Losses.DCMachines.Brush
Model of voltage drop and losses of carbon brushes. For currents between -ILinear and ILinear
the voltage drop shows a linear behavior as depicted in Fig. 1.
For positive currents greater or equal than ILinear the voltage drop equals V.
For negative currents less or equal than -ILinear the voltage drop equals -V.

The voltage drop v is the total voltage drop of all series connected brushes.
If it is desired to neglect brush losses, set brushParameters.V = 0 (this is the default).

Model Modelica.Electrical.Machines.Losses.DCMachines.StrayLoad
The stray load loss torque is
tau = PRef/wRef * (i/IRef)^2 * (w/wRef)^power_w
where i is the current of the machine and w is the actual angular velocity.
The dependency of the stray load torque on the angular velocity is modeled by the exponent power_w.
The stray load losses are modeled such way that they do not cause a voltage drop in the electric circuit. Instead, the dissipated losses are considered through an equivalent braking torque at the shaft.
If it is desired to neglect stray load losses, set strayLoadParameters.PRef = 0 (this is the default).

Model Modelica.Electrical.Machines.Losses.DCMachines.Core
Core losses can be separated into eddy current and hysteresis losses. The total core losses can thus be expressed as
p = PRef * (ratioHysteresis * (wRef / w) + 1 - ratioHysteresis) * (v / VRef)^2
where w is the actual angular velocity and v is the actual voltage. The term ratioHysteresis is the ratio
of the hysteresis losses with respect to the total core losses for reference inner voltage and reference angular velocity.
For the voltage and angular velocity range with respect to Fig. 1,
the dependency of total core losses on the parameter ratioHysteresis is depicted in Fig. 2.

Fig. 2: Core losses versus angular velocity with parameter ratioHysteresis |
In the current implementation it is assumed that ratioHysteresis = 0. This parameter cannot be changed due to compatibility reasons.
