Electrical / Sources

Description

../../_images/vsource_3ph.svg

The three phase Voltage Source generates three sinusoidal voltages between its electrical terminals. The first phase is marked with a small black dot. The momentary voltages \(v_i\) are determined by the equation

\[v_i = A_i \cdot \sin(2\pi \cdot f \cdot t + \varphi_i + \Delta\varphi_i)\]

where \(t\) is the simulation time and \(\varphi_0 =0\), \(\varphi_1 = -2/3\cdot \pi\) and \(\varphi_2 = 2/3\cdot \pi\).

Note

A voltage source may not be short-circuited or connected in parallel to a capacitor or any other voltage source.

Parameters

Amplitude

The amplitude \(A\) of the voltage, in volts \((\mathrm{V})\). The value can be given as a scalar or as a vector with three elements \([A_0, A_1, A_2]\).

Frequency

The frequency \(f\), in hertz \((\mathrm{Hz})\).

Phase offset

The phase offset \(\Delta\varphi\), in radians. The value can be given as a scalar or as a vector with three elements \([\Delta\varphi_0, \Delta\varphi_1, \Delta\varphi_2]\).

Neutral point

Show or hide the neutral point terminal.

Probe Signals

Source voltage

The source voltages in volts \((\mathrm{V})\) as a vectorized signal.

Source current

The currents flowing through the source, in amperes \((\mathrm{A})\) as a vectorized signal.

Source power

The combined instantaneous output power of the source, in watts \((\mathrm{W})\).
