Purpose

Generate 3-phase sinusoidal voltage

Library

Electrical / Sources

Description

pict

The three phase Voltage Source generates three sinusoidal voltages between its electrical terminals. The first phase is marked with a small black dot. The momentary voltages vi   are determined by the equation

vi = Ai ⋅sin(2π ⋅f ⋅t+ φi +D φi)

where t   is the simulation time and φ0 = 0  , φ1 = - 2∕3⋅π   and φ2 = 2∕3 ⋅π  .


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

Parameters

Amplitude
The amplitude A   of the voltage, in volts (V). The value can be given as a scalar or as a vector with three elements [A0,A1,A2]  .
Frequency
The frequency f  , in Hertz (Hz).
Phase offset
The phase offset D φ  , in radians. The value can be given as a scalar or as a vector with three elements [Dφ0,D φ1,Dφ2]  .
Neutral point
Show or hide the neutral point terminal.

Probe Signals

Source voltage
The source voltages in volts (V) as a vectorized signal.
Source current
The currents flowing through the source, in amperes (A) as a vectorized signal.
Source power
The combined instantaneous output power of the source, in watts (W).
