Description

1

Bus1

string
(bus def.)

Name of bus to which source is connected.
bus1=busname
bus1=busname.1.2.3

2

Phases

integer

1

Number of phases.

3

PRated

real

250.0

kW

Total rated power.

4

VRated

real

208.0

V

Rated line-to-line voltage.

5

Ppct

real

100.0

Steady-state operating output, in percent of rated.

6

BP1

string
(XYcurve name)

XYCurve defining the input piece-wise linear block.

7

BP2

string
(XYcurve name)

XYCurve defining the output piece-wise linear block.

8

Filter

string
(XYcurve name)

XYCurve defining the digital filter coefficients (x numerator, y denominator).

9

FSample

real

5000.0

Hz
