Inductive Switching Transients

The Inductive Switching Transients waveform has zero amplitude at time zero.  The amplitude increases linearly from zero to Peak Amplitude, then decreases in amplitude exponentially.  The rate at which the waveform amplitude increases is set by the value in the Rise Time text box.  The rate at which the waveform amplitude decreases is determined by the values in the Decay Timetext box.

The Inductive Switching Transients waveform is defined over a set time interval defined by the value in the Period text box.  The waveform can be defined as a series of pulses by specifying Pulses Per Period to be greater than 1, and Repetition Rate to be less than Period.  The time-domain waveform is displayed in the upper graph of the Source form.

The equation for the decaying portion of the Inductive Switching Transients waveform is:

where

Y(t) = Waveform amplitude at time t

Y1 = Peak Amplitude

k = Decay Time
