Model of voltage drop and losses of carbon brushes. For currents
between -ILinear
and ILinear
the voltage
drop shows a linear behavior as depicted in Fig. 1. For positive
currents greater or equal than ILinear
the voltage
drop equals V
. For negative currents less or equal
than -ILinear
the voltage drop equals
-V
.

The voltage drop v
is the total voltage drop of all
series connected brushes.
If it is desired to neglect brush losses, set
brushParameters.V = 0
(this is the default).
