Description

Block DC Current Source It is an ideal current source that is powerful enough to maintain a given current through it regardless of the voltage at the source.

The output current is set by the Constant current parameter, which can be either positive or negative.

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

Electrical, represents the negative terminal of the source.

Parameters

Constant current — constant current
1 A (by default)

Output current. Both positive and negative values are acceptable.
