The Quasistatic Single Phase Ideal Closing Switch (or Ideal Closing Switch) component models a two-terminal, single-pole, electrical switch that is closed when the control input is set to true, and opened otherwise.

To prevent singularities during switching, the opened switch has a (very low) default conductance $G_{\mathrm{off}}$and the closed switch has a (very low) default resistance $R_{\mathrm{on}}$. The limiting case is allowed, i.e., the closed resistance and open conductance can be exactly zero.

The model includes a Conditional heat port, but no temperature dependency.

Use with care: This switch is only intended to be used for structural changes, not for fast switching sequences, due to the quasistatic formulation.

$i_p\=-s{1}_V\{\begin{array}{cc}1& \mathrm{control}\\ G_{\mathrm{off}}& \mathrm{otherwise}\end{array}$

$i_p\+i_n\=0$

$v\=v_p-v_n\=s{1}_A\{\begin{array}{cc}{R}_{\mathrm{on}}& \mathrm{control}\\ 1& \mathrm{otherwise}\end{array}$

$\mathrm{\omega }\={\stackrel{\.}{\mathrm{\gamma }}}_p$

${\mathrm{\gamma }}_p\={\mathrm{\gamma }}_n$

$P_{\mathrm{loss}}\=\Re \left(v\stackrel{\&conjugate0;}{i}\right)$

$T_{\mathrm{hp}}\=\{\begin{array}{cc}{T}_{\mathrm{heatPort}}& \mathrm{Use\; Heat\; Port}\\ T& \mathrm{otherwise}\end{array}$
