A transformer is implemented by magnetically coupling two or more coils (inductors) together. For air core transformers, a K_Linear coupling device from the analog library is used, whereas for non-linear transformers, a magnetic core model is referenced by the K coupling device. When creating a linear transformer, the coils are specified in units of henry (H), whereas for non-linear transformers, you specify the number of turns for the inductors.
The PSpice magnetic cores model hysteresis effects and include a coupling coefficient which is used to define the proportion of flux ...
