Current Source (Three-Phase)

An ideal three-phase power source.

current source three phase

Description

The Current Source (Three-Phase) unit simulates an ideal three-phase current source that maintains sinusoidal currents of a given magnitude regardless of its voltage.

The output current is determined by the following equations:

πφ

πφ

πφ ,

Where:

  • - phase current amplitude.

  • - RMS value of the phase current.

  • - corresponding phase currents.

  • - frequency.

  • φ - phase shift.

  • - time.

The arrow indicates the positive direction of the current. The source is star connected, port n corresponds to the neutral point.

Ports

~ - three-phase port
electricity

Three-phase port, corresponds to phases a, b and c of the source.

n - neutral
electricity

Electrical port, corresponds to the neutral point.

Parameters

Current (phase RMS), A - RMS value of phase current
100 / sqrt(2) (by default)

RMS value of phase current (for sinusoidal current is the same as the effective current).

Phase shift, deg - phase shift
`0.0 (by default).

Phase shift in angular units.

Frequency, Hz - current frequency
50.0 Hz (By default).

Current frequency.
