AC Voltage Source

An ideal source of sinusoidal voltage.

ac voltage source

Description

The AC Voltage Source unit is an ideal voltage source, i.e. the voltage at its output terminals is independent of the current flowing through it.

The output voltage is determined by the following equation:

πφ

Where:

  • V - voltage.

  • V0 - peak amplitude.

  • f - frequency.

  • φ - phase shift.

  • t - time.

The + and - ports correspond to the positive and negative poles of the voltage source, respectively. Current is positive if it flows from the positive to the negative pole; the voltage across the source is equal to the potential difference across the positive and negative pins, .

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, V
`1 V (by default)

Peak voltage amplitude.

Phase shift - phase shift, rad
0 (By default)

Phase shift, radians.

Frequency - frequency
`50 Hz (by default).

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