Voltage/current source: definition (structure)

Definition

A voltage source or current source component is defined by:

a name (and a comment)
a model
specific characteristics depending on the model
two terminals

Name

The name permitting the identification of the component is given by the user when it is created.

A comment (optional) can be added to the name.

The name and the comment are displayed by default in the graphic zone close to the symbol.

Source components: description

Characteristic quantities, necessary for the description of the source components: voltage source and current source, are presented in the table below.

Source	Function
voltage source	U(t) = formula	U(t) = U₀e^{j(ωt + φ)}	Rms value Phase
current source	I(t) = formula	I(t) = I₀e^{j(ωt + φ)}	Rms value Phase
