A wire pair with a particular awg gauge and length in meters (unless inches is set True), optionally with an additional gap (in mm) between the wires:

   a0 <--- R - L ---> a1
   b0 <--- R - L ---> b1

This is mostly for modeling high-current behavior at relatively low frequencies.

If you want to use a ground reference on both ends, just set gndRef True and the single pair of nodes 'a0', 'a1' will have the R and L for both wires.

Inductors often cause convergence errors in SPICE. To ignore the inductance (and capacitance) of the wire pair, set R_only True.

def L(self):

overrides pingspice.lib.passive.Wire.L

Returns inductance (Henries) per meter of two adjacent wires given their wire gauges.

You can include an additional air gap (in mm) between the wires, on average. For example, use gap=4 for loosely bundled heavy wires.

@property
def C(self):

Returns capacitance (Farads) per meter between two adjacent wires given their common length in meters (unless inches is set) and wire gauges.

You can include an additional air gap (in mm) between the wires, on average. For example, use gap=4 for loosely bundled heavy wires.

An average radius of the two wires is used, which may not be accurate if they are very different.

def txLine(self, f):

Lossy transmission line.

def setup(self, f):

overrides pingspice.lib.passive.Wire.setup

Subcircuit definition.

Why use f? Because it's short and a conveniently typed letter on the keyboard.

Override this if your subclass does not reference a param.ParameterFinder subclass via the Finder class attribute. As with Include.setup, your override method can return a dict of attribute names and values to set in my instance.
