Voltage Source (Controlled)
Purpose
Generate variable voltage
Library
Electrical / Sources
Description
The Controlled Voltage Source generates a variable voltage between its two electrical terminals. The voltage is considered positive at the terminal marked with a "+". The momentary voltage is determined by the signal fed into the input of the component.
Note A voltage source may not be short-circuited or connected in parallel to a capacitor or any other voltage source.
Parameters
- Discretization behavior
- Specifies whether a zero-order hold or a first-order hold is applied to the input signal when the model is discretized. For details, see Physical Model Discretization.
- Allow state-space inlining
- For expert use only! When set to on and the input signal is a linear combination of electrical measurements, PLECS will eliminate the input variable from the state-space equations and substitute it with the corresponding output variables. The default is off.
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).
