HeatingResistor
Temperature dependent electrical resistor
Library
Electrical/Analog/Basic
Description
This is a model for an electrical resistor where the generated heat is dissipated to the environment via connector heatPort and where the resistance R is temperature dependent according to the following equation:
R = R_ref*(1 + alpha*(heatPort.T - T_ref))
alpha is the temperature coefficient of resistance, which is often abbreviated as TCR. In resistor catalogues, it is usually defined as X [ppm/K] (parts per million, similarly to percentage) meaning X*1e-6 [1/K]. Resistors are available for 1 .. 7000 ppm/K, i.e., alpha = 1e-6 .. 7e-3 1/K;
Via parameter useHeatPort the heatPort connector can be enabled and disabled (default = enabled). If it is disabled, the generated heat is transported implicitly to an internal temperature source with a fixed temperature of T_ref.
If the heatPort connector is enabled, it must be connected.
