Group: Guest	All, I need help with a Don Smith LTspice sim I've been working on. The problem is that it is showing a COP of 1.128 ------------------------ don_smith_table_top-ou.asc (5.76 kB - downloaded 692 times.)

Hero Member Posts: 805	why don't you integrate from 5 to 6 ms. Starting at 0 s is before steady state has been reached.

Group: Guest	EM, I'm starting the integration at 4ms. .tran 0 10.6m 4m If I start at 0s I get a COP of 1.059 pin: INTEG(v(vs)i(v1))=-13.0589 FROM 0 TO 0.0106 pout: INTEG(v(vout)i(rl))=13.8418 FROM 0 TO 0.0106 cop: (pout/pin)=-1.05995 Edit1: I think you misinterpreted what I was saying. The efficiency greater than 100% Yes I am delaying recording of data 40ms to overcome the initial power draw establishing a somewhat steady state condition. I am trying to get the simulation back to realistic conditions. Edit2: In case anyone is interested, I figured this out. Determining the input impedance and setting the Source series resistance equal to that value corrected the problem. It now show realistic results. « Last Edit: 2012-03-12, 12:08:52 by duff »
