enhancement:higher cable stacks in transformer

Open yannic312 opened this issue 9 years ago • 12 comments

As the title says, letting us put more than 4 cables into a transformer would be better, because when you have a 50v to 3200v line, you'll have to place 3 transformers, that would look like so: 2015-07-01_10 28 31 but with ability to place more than 4 wires, it would look so: 2015-07-01_10 28 57 PS: sorry for my bad english ;)

I feel that the current system is more realistic, after all each wire coil takes up space. It wouldn't make much sense to have room for 16 cables on one side, would it? Plus, if I'm understanding how transformers work more coils would mean a lot more heat that has to go somewhere. (I'm no expert in electronics, so if that's wrong someone correct me.)

("more coils would mean a lot more heat that has to go somewhere.") That's true if the transformer is under high load the coils get hot, and that heat has to go somewhere, and if it cant dissipate the heat, the coil would burn out after some time. Also, it wouldn't be so bad for me if it doesn't get changed, it was just a small idea :) PS (again): sorry for my bad english ;)

I have a question, too: what is the highest voltage that the very high voltage cable can hold without exploding?

Versão Portugues: yannic312, a mecânica dos transformadores esta certa, não a razão para mudar, ate no "mundo real" os transformadores são usados assim um em serie do outro ate chegar a tensão desejada, e não 50V para 3200V de uma só vez com um componente. A simulação do Electrical Age quanto a transformadores esta correta.

Versão Ingles:

yannic312, the mechanics of this right processors no reason to change, until the "real world" processors are used so one another in series until reaching the desired voltage, 50V to 3200V and not all at once to a component. The simulation of the Electrical Age as transformers is correct.

Versão em Portugues

yannic312, o que deveria mudar mesmo é os cabos. Pois cabos deveriam ser mais grossos quando a Corrente (A) é maior, e mais fino quando a corrente é menor e proporcional a Tensão (V). Por exemplo:

baixo - 50V 20A 1000W - este cabo seria grosso médio - 200V 10A 2000W - este cabo seria menos grosso que o alto - 800V - este cabo seria menos grosso que o muito alto - 3200V - este cabo seria o mais fino.

Ajudem a divulgar isso para ser mudado. A simulação do jogo fica mais real.

Versão ingles:

yannic312, which should change even is cables. For cables should be thicker when the current (A) is larger and thinner when the current is smaller and proportional to voltage (V). For example:

low - 50V 20A 1000W - this cable would be thick medium - 200V 10A 2000W - this cable would be less thick than the High - 800V - this cable would be less thick than the very high - 3200V - this cable would be the finest.

Help publicize it to be changed. The simulation game is more real.

hmmm yes, cables should get changed too :) If 20 amps flow through a thin cable, it would melt very fast, and that would cause it do get short circuit, and that causes more heat again and so on....

OK, transformer can stay so like they are now, that's not so bad :)

No P = U x I [Watt = Volt x Ampere]

Ok, sorry for that, I just deleted it :)

Wouldn't that be a case for heatsinks to attach to nonstandard thermal systems? "well it's easier for me to have a transformer and an active heatsink parallel to the transformer vs 4 transformers in series"

It feels like it would be similar to people attaching heatsinks to jfet.

Or we could have different ratios than N:M for N, M <= 4. I'm basically okay with limiting the ration to 1:4, but sometimes what I really want is 11:19...

This exists in LL and can be ported easily if desired. Close?
