Derek,

Yes, do it all the time.   As long as you don't get into saturating any
cores, you can pretty much use lumped models and none of the nonlinearities
associated with core material.

Don't forget to include your AC mains cable.  It's a trifilar wound
transformer.  A Belden AC cord looks like a 3 winding transformer with 7uH
core.

You can also model the LISN and the parasitic capacitance in your test
setup.  Very educational.

Why do you ask?

    Subject: CM Choke simulation


    Hi all,

    I'm trying to model a common mode choke in Micro-sim. Has anyone tried
this? Failing that, any suggestion on how to model one in Spice, possibly
using magnetic models?

    Thanks in advance.....

    Derek.
