Description

Block AC Current Source It is an ideal source of sinusoidal current, that is, the current through it does not depend on the voltage on it.

The output current is determined by the following equation:

πφ

Where:

  • I — current.

  • I0 — peak amplitude.

  • f — frequency.

  • φ — phase shift.

  • t — Time.

The positive direction of the current is indicated by an arrow.

Ports

+ — positive
electricity

The electrical port represents the positive terminal of the source.

— negative
electricity

The electrical port represents the negative terminal of the source.

Parameters

Peak amplitude — peak amplitude of
1 A (by default)

Peak current amplitude.

Phase shift — phase shift
0 (by default)

Phase shift, radian.

Frequency — pass frequency:q[<br>] 50 Hz (by default)

Current frequency, Hz. Multiple units are allowed, for example, kHz or MHz. Other units (rad/s, etc.) are not allowed.
