The Brush component models the voltage drop and losses of carbon brushes.

Note: The voltage drop $v$ is the total voltage drop of all series connected brushes.

See also the Parameters described below. If it is desired to neglect brush losses, set $V\=0$ (this is the default).

$v\&equals;\{\begin{array}{cc}0& V\le 0\\ V& I_{\mathrm{linear}}<i\\ -V& i<-I_{\mathrm{linear}}\\ \frac{Vi}{I_{\mathrm{linear}}}& \mathrm{otherwise}\end{array}$

$v\&equals;v_p-v_n$

$i\&equals;i_p\&equals;-i_n$

$\mathrm{lossPower}\&equals;vi$
