K. Mutual Inductance

Symbol Names: None, this is placed as text on the schematic.

Syntax: Kxxx L1 L2 [L3 ...] <coefficient>

L1 and L2 are the names of inductors in the circuit. The mutual coupling coefficient must be in the range of -1 to 1.

The line

K1 L1 L2 L3 L4 1.

is synonymous with the six lines

K1 L1 L2 1.
K2 L2 L3 1.
K3 L3 L4 1.
K4 L1 L3 1.
K5 L2 L4 1.
K6 L1 L4 1.

It is recommended to start a design with a mutual coupling coefficient equal to 1. This will eliminate leakage inductance that can ring at extremely high frequencies and slow the simulation, if damping is not supplied.
