DC Voltage Source

Ideal constant voltage source

Description

The DC Voltage Source block represents an ideal voltage source that is powerful enough to maintain specified voltage across its terminals regardless of the current flowing through the source.

You specify the output voltage by using the Constant voltage parameter, which can be positive or negative.

Connections + and - are conserving electrical ports corresponding to the positive and negative terminals of the voltage source, respectively. The current is positive if it flows from positive to negative, and the voltage across the source is equal to the difference between the voltage at the positive and the negative terminal, V(+) – V(-).

Examples

Permanent Magnet DC Motor

This model is based on a Faulhaber Series 0615 DC-Micromotor. The parameters values are set to match the 1.5V variant of this motor. The model uses these parameters to verify manufacturer-quoted no-load speed, no-load current, and stall torque.
