Please look more carefully at the code... hint, what are the L's and the K's doing?But you just have resistors between primary and center tap. the real model of a transformer is... What about those inductances and core losses?
Thanks
When available, the L's are based on the data provided by the manufacturers, else, they are based on the measurements e.g., as shown by Yves M. and others.What primary inductance do you usually have with simulations ?
Thanks, it is indeed better, from 0V to -10V could be better though, I will try to re-do Ayumi's GU-50 model when I get a chance, not sure which datasheet JA2DHC used for his version, but it certainly does not match up well with the LS50 data.LS50 curves from post 617
Curves by Matejs model (from -5 to -25 V) looks good.
Do you know which datasheet the GU-50 model was based on? I am not able to match it to any of the GU/LS/RY-50 datasheets I have seen...
For example, here is one vs. the Telefunken LS50:
No i just downloaded a model that i found.

E180F SPICE Model
Here you go:
Yes i alreddy a'm using that one
now for somthing else i tried to find the model voor the E180F ( 6J9P ) if it is posted on what page can i find it
Here you go:

Please check which one is better.
When available, the L's are based on the data provided by the manufacturers, else, they are based on the measurements e.g., as shown by Yves M. and others.
Some manufacturers provide the primary inductance (obviously) based on on the "old" test procedure (5 Vrms/50Hz), some, like Edcor does not provide this info at all and some. like Amplimo gives the "maximum" value, whic refers to some 200 Vrms tets voltage.
The primary inductance value can vary from, say 25 H to 125 H depending on the test voltage.
As an example, I measured the Lp of Indel TGL40/001, which is a OPT I have used a lot.
The results with different test voltage (50 Hz):
1Vrms......6.8 H
5 -"- .......9.4 H
50 -"-..... 23 H
100 -"- ....32 H
200 Vrms...43 H
When simulating, the results with 6.8 H and 43 H are very, very different.
So, this is not that simple matter.
Understood, the user needs to determine the correct parameters to use for the model, garbage in = garbage out, etc.So, this is not that simple matter.
