Voltage Source AC
Purpose
Generate sinusoidal voltage
Library
Electrical / Sources
Description
The AC Voltage Source generates a sinusoidal voltage between its two electrical
terminals. The voltage is considered positive at the terminal marked with a "+". The
momentary voltage
is determined by the equation

where
is the simulation time.
Note A voltage source may not be short-circuited or
connected in parallel to a capacitor or any other voltage source.
Parameters
Each of the following parameters may either be a scalar or a vector corresponding to
the implicit width of the component:
-
Amplitude
- The amplitude
of the voltage, in volts (V). The default is 1.
-
Frequency
- The angular frequency
, in
. The default is 2*pi*50 which
corresponds to 50 Hz.
-
Phase
- The phase shift
, in radians. The default is 0.
Probe Signals
-
Source voltage
- The source voltage in volts (V).
-
Source current
- The current flowing through the source, in amperes (A).
-
Source power
- The instantaneous output power of the source, in Watts (W).
