PLECS 3.7 Online Help

Voltage Source (Controlled)

Purpose

Generate variable voltage

Library

Electrical / Sources

Description

pict

The Controlled Voltage Source generates a variable voltage between its two electrical terminals. The voltage is considered positive at the terminal marked with a "+". The momentary voltage is determined by the signal fed into the input of the component.


Note  A voltage source may not be short-circuited or connected in parallel to a capacitor or any other voltage source.

Parameters

Discretization behavior
Specifies whether a zero-order hold or a first-order hold is applied to the input signal when the model is discretized. For details, see Physical Model Discretization.
Allow state-space inlining
For expert use only! When set to on and the input signal is a linear combination of electrical measurements, PLECS will eliminate the input variable from the state-space equations and substitute it with the corresponding output variables. The default is off.

Probe Signals

Source voltage
The source voltage in volts (V).
Source current
The current flowing through the source, in amperes (A).
Source power
The instantaneous output power of the source, in watts (W).
