Description
Block Delta-Connected Load simulates a three-phase load connected by a triangle. Each phase of the load can include any combination of resistor , of the capacitor and the inductors , connected in series or in parallel. The load is phase-symmetric, that is, the values of resistance, capacitance and inductance of all phases are the same.
Component values , and They can be set either directly as resistance, inductance, and capacitance, or through the values of rated powers (i.e., at rated voltage and frequency).
-
If the block is parameterized directly through the values , and , then a three-element vector is set for initialization-a string of initial voltages for the capacitor and a three-element vector-a string of initial currents for the inductor.
-
If the unit is parameterized using the nominal power values, the initial voltage value, the initial voltage phase, and the initial frequency are set for initialization. For example, if the load is connected directly to a three-phase voltage source, the initial values should be equal to the RMS values of the line voltage, frequency, and phase of this source. To set the initial voltage to zero, set the initial voltage to
0.
For certain combinations , and for some circuit topologies, set values for parasitic resistance or conductivity, which help the simulation to converge numerically. These parasitic terms ensure that the inductor has a small parallel resistive path and the capacitor has a small series resistance. When you parameterize the unit in terms of rated capacities, the rated power values do not take into account these small parasitic conditions. The rated capacities represent only the values , and the load itself.

Parameterization —
parameterization
Specify component values directly | Specify by rated power
Details
Parameterization of the block:
-
Specify by rated power— values for components , and They are set using the values of rated power at rated voltage and frequency. Default parameterization. -
Specify component values directly— values for components , and They are set directly as resistance, inductance, and capacitance.
Switching the parameter value Parameterization resets the parameter value Component structure. First, select the parameter value Parameterization and then Component structure. If you switch the parameter value later Parameterization, check the parameter value Component structure and select it again, if necessary.
