Description

The unit Current Transformer (Three-Phase) is a multiwinding transformer that can be modelled as a three-phase current transformer with different levels of non-linearity.

The parameters group Initial Conditions is used to set the initial current or flux for each of the inductors. Note that these values are not used if Start simulation from steady state is checked in the solver configuration Solver Configuration.

The parameter group Parasitic represents small parasitic effects. Small parallel conductances may be required to model some circuit topologies.

For more information on the equations and modes implemented in the block see Current Transformer.
