I want to reproduce the following circuit:
My question is about how I make the AC/DC converter with 3 and 2 input and output ports, respectively?
My code and respective output:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[free-standing-units]{siunitx}
\usepackage{circuitikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{circuitikz}[scale=1.5]
\draw (0,0) to[short,-o](0,0.75);
\draw [very thick] (0,0.78)--(80:1.2);
\draw (0,1.25) to[short,o-] (0,2) to (1,2)
to [L](1,0) to (0,0);
\draw (0,2) to (-1.5,2) to (-1.5, 1.25) to (-2, 1.25);
\draw (0,0) to (-1.5,0) to (-1.5, 0.75) to (-2, 0.75);
\draw (-4,1) to [sacdc] (-3,1);
\draw[dashed] (-1.75,-0.5) rectangle ++(4,2.75);
\node[font=\sffamily] at (1.25,-0.25) {Cryogenic Region};
\node[font=\sffamily] at (1.6,1) {SC Coil};
\node[font=\sffamily] at (-0.75,1) {SC Switch};
\end{circuitikz}
\end{document}
Thank you!

This is a very brute-force solution (you can do things more elegantly with
calc
and with relative positioning), but... (see comments in code).Also, you can use the
cute switch
to draw the switch, no need to make it by hand. And if you like the original drawing of the AD-DC converter, this is double too, on the spot to using subcircuitis.
