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).
