Description

../../_images/v_dc.svg

The DC Voltage Source generates a constant voltage between its two electrical terminals. The voltage is considered positive at the terminal marked with a “+”.

Note

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

Parameters

Voltage

The magnitude of the constant voltage, in volts \((\mathrm{V})\). This parameter may either be a scalar or a vector defining the width of the component. The default value is 1.

Probe Signals

Source voltage

The source voltage in volts \((\mathrm{V})\).

Source current

The current flowing through the source, in amperes \((\mathrm{A})\).

Source power

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