SI or pu units:

      • SI: Specifies the values of the RLC elements, voltage, current or frequency in international units (ohm, henry, farad, volt, ampere and hertz);
      • pu: Specifies the values of the RLC elements, voltage, current or frequency in pu;
NameDescriptionUnit
Starting mode (Slow/Fast)If “Fast”, the source is immediately activated or deactivated.  If “Slow”, when the source is activated, the amplitude of the source increases linearly from zero to the steady-state value. When the source is deactivate, the amplitude of the source decreases linearly from the steady-state value to zero. -

Ports, Inputs, Outputs and Signals Available for Monitoring


Ports

  • The current source injects a current from one bus (port) to another (port), without grounding. 

Inputs

  • I input (current source): The current amplitude signal. 

Outputs

  • None

Sensors

  • I(a, b, c)_label: Current signal (current source) (A).
