Description

The grounded C-type filter is available both for 1-phase and 3-phase connections. It's also available with a series connection.

Table of Contents

Mask and Parameters

The grounded C-type filter consists of a specific RLC combination as shown in the figure above.

Grounded filters, when used in a 3-phase system, can also have the grounding connection type configured as any of the following: Y ground, Y floating or Delta.

To specify the parameters of a filter, SI units are always used. The PU unit system is not available for all filter models.

Ports, Inputs, Outputs and Signals Available for Monitoring

Ports

This component supports 1-phase and 3-phase connections and the port is updated automatically upon connection.

Net_+: Positive network connection

Inputs

None

Outputs

None

Sensors

Since the filters are simulated as elements forming a whole and not as individual elements, the following signals are made available through the sensors for acquisition:

I: Current in (A) when using in a 1-phase network
I(a,b,c): Current in (A) for each phase when using in a 3-phase network

Hence the values of the current flowing in the individual elements are not available.
