Something is not working well in EveryCircuit

02:04:27

The current should be the same when switching the swich.
But in one case it is 423 mA and in the other is 408 mA.
I can't understand. 
Can anybody help me?

As usual nothing wrong with EC. Transformer are a complex impedance. Mean they are not only an inductivity. They also have by default at primary side a resistive impedance. 100mOhm by default. http://everycircuit.com/circuit/6535576004329472

I kind of agree with the guy who made this circuit. I'm confused with transformers too, and that's why if you look at my circuits, they will never have transformers in them.

So keep your fingers away from transformers.

One major change here, transformer reactance is in range of few Henrys while your externally connected reactance is of milli henry. thats why current is different

The reason is what hurz said, to prove it just put a 100mohm resistor in series with the inductor, you will see 408mA in both inductor and transformer

Thanx WTFCircuit, why dont they follow the link I have posted? I demostrated there how an equivalent load does look like, 2mH + 100mOhm. Look here again 408mA in both cases http://everycircuit.com/circuit/6535576004329472
