Ideal switches are rarely modelled in network analysis because inconsistent conditions can occur at the instant of switching. This causes standard integration routines to fail. If the initial conditions can be determined, the use of ideal switches can considerably speed up analysis and can make the results easier to understand. This paper, partly a review, presents a method which can handle ideal switching, inconsistent initial conditions, Dirac impulses and signals with discontinuities. It is applicable to networks containing linear or non‐linear elements.
