Description

The Neutral Port (Three-Phase) block connects the phases of a three-phase system to an electrical conserving port.

Note

If you do not need to connect the neutral port to other blocks, use a Floating Neutral (Three-Phase) block instead. If you want to ground the neutral port, use a Grounded Neutral (Three-Phase) block.

Examples

Model Generic Neutral Connection Using Neutral Port (Three-Phase) Block

Model Generic Neutral Connection Using Neutral Port (Three-Phase) Block

Use the Neutral Port (Three-Phase) block to model a generic earthing connection in a three-phase network with an unbalanced load. The example also shows the effects of different types of earthing connection on network voltages and highlights when to use the Neutral Port (Three-Phase), Floating Neutral (Three-Phase), or Grounded Neutral (Three-Phase) block.

Parameters

Whether to model composite or expanded three-phase ports.

Composite three-phase ports represent three individual electrical conserving ports with a single block port. You can use composite three-phase ports to build models that correspond to single-line diagrams of three-phase electrical systems.

Expanded three-phase ports represent the individual phases of a three-phase system using three separate electrical conserving ports.

Parasitic conductance to ground. A nonzero value is required for the simulation of some circuit topologies.
