Description

Block Floating Reference It is an electrical reference point that can be used to measure the voltage of other nodes in an ungrounded electrical circuit.

Unlike the block Electrical Reference which provides a ground connection, this unit uses a capacitance to block the direct current.

For more information about the operating modes of a three-phase system connected according to the Triangle scheme, see Recommendations for delta connection of transformer windings.

Variables

Use the parameter group Initial Targets to set the priority and initial target values for the block parameter variables before modeling. For more information, see Configuring physical blocks using target values.

Ports

Details

An electrical port through which the direct current is zero. Use this port to measure the voltage of other nodes in an ungrounded electrical circuit.

Program usage name

pin

Parameters

Main

# Capacitance — capacity that blocks direct current
F | pF | nF | uF | mF

Details

The physical capacity between the ungrounded circuit and the ground. This capacity blocks direct current.

Units

F | pF | nF | uF | mF

Default value

1 uF

Program usage name

C

Evaluatable

Yes

# Parasitic parallel conductance — parasitic parallel conduction
S | nS | uS | mS | 1/Ohm

Details

It represents small parasitic effects.

A non-zero value is required to model some circuit topologies.

Units

S | nS | uS | mS | 1/Ohm

Default value

0 1/Ohm
