AC Current Source

Ideal sinusoidal current source.

ac current source

Description

The AC Current Source unit represents an ideal sinusoidal current source, i.e. the current through it is independent of the voltage across it.

The output current is determined by the following equation:

πφ

Where:

  • I - current.

  • I0 - peak amplitude.

  • f - frequency.

  • φ - phase shift.

  • t - time.

Positive current direction is indicated by an arrow.

Ports

+ - positive
electricity

Electrical port, represents the positive terminal of the source.

- represents the negative
electricity

Electrical port, represents the negative terminal of the source.

Parameters

Peak amplitude - peak amplitude
`1 A (by default)

Peak amplitude of current.

Phase shift - phase shift
0 (By default)

Phase shift, radians.

Frequency - frequency
`50 Hz (by default).

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