Changing the form of the arrow head in circuitikz

Question

In fact, in this code below you can see that the arrows under the omega{\phi} is different from the arrows of the voltages. I want to have similar arrows to the voltages one.

\documentclass[review]{elsarticle}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amssymb,amsmath,nccmath}
\usepackage{cclicenses}
\usepackage{makecell}
\usepackage[straightvoltages]{circuitikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows}
\usepackage{lscape,array}


\begin{document}
\begin{circuitikz}[scale=0.5][american voltages]
\ctikzset{bipoles/length=.8cm}
\draw

(0,0) to [open,v>=$v_{ds}$] (0,5) 

to [short, *- ,i=$i_{ds}$] (0.3,5)
to [R, l=$R_s$] (2,5) 
to [L, l=$X_s$] (3.2,5)
to [european voltage source, l^=$\omega_s \phi_{qs}$] (4.9,5)
(4.5,5) to [short, -] (5,5)
(5,5) to [L, l_=$X_m$] (5,0)


(5,5) to [european voltage source, l^=$\omega_r \phi_{qr}$] (7,5)
to [L, l=$X_r$] (8,5)
to [R, l=$R_r$] (10,5)
to [short, -* ,i<=$i_{dr}$] (10.3,5) 
(10.3,0) to [open, v>=$v_{dr}$] (10.3,5)
(0,0) to [short, *-*] (10.3,0);
\draw[->](3.5,4.3) -- (4.9,4.3);
\draw[->](6.5,4.3) -- (5.1,4.3);
\end{circuitikz}
\end{document}

Something like this?

\usepackage[straightvoltages]{circuitikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows}
\usepackage{lscape,array}


\begin{document}
\begin{circuitikz}[scale=0.5][american voltages]
\ctikzset{bipoles/length=.8cm}
\draw

(0,0) to [open,v>=$v_{ds}$] (0,5) 

to [short, *- ,i=$i_{ds}$] (0.3,5)
to [R, l=$R_s$] (2,5) 
to [L, l=$X_s$] (3.2,5)
to [european voltage source, l^=$\omega_s \phi_{qs}$] (4.9,5)
(4.5,5) to [short, -] (5,5)
(5,5) to [L, l_=$X_m$] (5,0)


(5,5) to [european voltage source, l^=$\omega_r \phi_{qr}$] (7,5)
to [L, l=$X_r$] (8,5)
to [R, l=$R_r$] (10,5)
to [short, -* ,i<=$i_{dr}$] (10.3,5) 
(10.3,0) to [open, v>=$v_{dr}$] (10.3,5)
(0,0) to [short, *-*] (10.3,0);
\draw[-latex](3.5,4.3) -- (4.9,4.3);
\draw[-latex](6.5,4.3) -- (5.1,4.3);
\end{circuitikz}
\end{document}

These arrows look to me like the standard latex arrows provided by TikZ. If you want all arrows to be like this, just use \tikzet{>=latex} somewhere in the beginning of the document.

it seems that we are now extremely good synchronized (on 12 h of time zone distance :-) ) ... — Zarko, Feb 10 '18 at 18:13
@Zarko Looks like it. Notice that I am very slow during hibernation time ;-) — , Feb 10 '18 at 18:14
i very much doubt that you have a hibernation period. even worse, do you even ever sleep? you are super-active and extremely fast :-). go, go marmots! — Zarko, Feb 10 '18 at 18:27

package arrows.meta provide many diferent of arrows heads

try with

\draw[-Triangle]    (3.5,4.3) -- (4.9,4.3);
\draw[-Triangle]    (6.5,4.3) -- (5.1,4.3);

and replace \usetikzlibrary{arrows} with \usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta}.

complete document considering my answer:

                        ]
\ctikzset{bipoles/length=7mm}               % <-- smaller bipole elements

\draw   (0,0)   to [open,v>=$v_{ds}$] (0,4)

        (5,4)   to [short] (5.5,4)

        (5.25,4)to [L, l_=$X_m$, *-*] (5.25,0)

        (5.5,4) to [V, l^=$\omega_r \phi_{qr}$] (7,4)
                to [L, l=$X_r$] (8.5,4)
                to [R, l=$R_r$] (10,4)
                to [short, -* ,i<=$i_{dr}$] (10.5,4)
                to [open, v^<=$v_{dr}$] (10.5,0)
        (0,0)   to [short, *-*] (10.5,0);
\draw[-Triangle]    (3.5,3.3) -- + ( 1.5,0);
\draw[-Triangle]    (7.0,3.3) -- + (-1.5,0);
    \end{circuitikz}
\end{document}

note. mixing the american and european style of drawing the electric/electronic circuits is consider as bad practice.
