Description

pict

The DC Voltage Source generates a constant voltage between its two electrical terminals. The voltage is considered positive at the terminal marked with a "+".


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

Parameter

Voltage
The magnitude of the constant voltage, in volts (V). This parameter may either be a scalar or a vector defining the width of the component. The default value is 1.

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).
