Description

Block Delta-Connected Load simulates a three-phase load connected by a triangle. Each phase of the load can include any combination of a resistor (R), a capacitor (C) and an inductor (L) connected in series or parallel. The load is phase-symmetric, that is, the values of resistance, capacitance and inductance of all phases are the same.

The values of the R, L, and C components 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 R, L and C, 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 of R, L and C, for some circuit topologies, set values for parasitic resistance or conductivity that 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 R, L, and C values of the load itself.

Parameters

Main

Parameterization — parameterization of
by power (default) | directly

Parameterization of the block:

  • by power — The values for the R, L and C components are set using the rated power values at the rated voltage and frequency. Default parameterization.

  • directly — The values for the R, L, and C components are set directly as resistance, inductance, and capacitance.

Switching the value of the Parameterization parameter resets the value of the Component structure parameter. First, select the value of the Parameterization parameter, and then the Component structure. If you switch the value of the Parameterization parameter later, check the value of the Component structure parameter and select it again, if necessary.

Component structure — combination of R, L and C
R (default) | L | C | Series RL | Series RC | Series LC | Series RLC | Parallel RL | Parallel RC | Parallel LC | Parallel RLC

Specifies a combination of a resistor (R), a capacitor (C), and an inductor (L) connected in series or parallel.

Resistance — pass resistance:q[<br>] 1.0 Ohm (default)

The resistance of each resistor.

Dependencies

This parameter is used only when selecting a value. Specify component values directly the Parameterization parameter and the selection of the component structure that includes the resistor.

Induction — pass inductance:q[<br>] 1e−3 Gn (default)

The inductance of each coil.

Dependencies

Parasitics
