When using multiple ideal switches in series, the snubber circuit must be used. A high value resistance value is then added to allow simulation to work. I am presently building power distribution networks using the Ideal Switch block as the main building block to create virtual power contactors which are then assembled together to create large network of power contactors. I must use the snubber in order to allow this environment to simulate. I would like to know how does using Ideal Switch blocks in series in such a manner compares with reality. My example model is attached as "Basic_network_topology.mdl".
