Electric Circuits, Drives and Components

We shall treat here circuits and components and further in sec. 5.2 electric motors from an elementary standpoint, sufficient for most applications. In sec. 5.3 we shall examine the interaction of electric and magnetic fields with mechanical members in more detail. In this section we shall neglect parasitic effects of resistors, capacitors and inductors and treat them as R-, C- and I-elements. Thus, we neglect effects like inductivity of a resistance, leakage of a capacitor and winding capacity of an inductor. Such effects can always be added from the known electronic equivalent circuits once the systematic writing of Bondgraphs is familiar.
