The nominal voltage of the load, in volts RMS. Default is 1000.

The nominal frequency, in hertz. Default is 60.

The active power of the load, in watts. Default is 10e3.

The inductive reactive power QL, in vars. Specify a positive value, or 0. Default is 100.

If selected, the initial capacitor voltage is defined by the Capacitor initial voltage parameter. If cleared, the software calculates the initial capacitor voltage in order to start the simulation in steady-state. Default is cleared.

The Set the initial capacitor voltage parameter have no effect on the block if the capacitive reactive power is equal to zero.

The initial capacitor voltage used at the start of the simulation. The Capacitor initial voltage parameter have no effect on the block if the capacitive reactive power is equal to zero and if the Set the initial capacitor voltage parameter is cleared. Default is 0.

If selected, the initial inductor current is defined by the Inductor initial current parameter. If cleared, the software calculates the initial inductor current in order to start the simulation steady-state. Default is cleared.

The Set the initial inductor current parameter have no effect on the block if the inductive reactive power is equal to zero.

The initial inductor current used at the start of the simulation. This parameter has no effect on the block if the inductive reactive power is equal to zero and if the Set the initial inductor current parameter is cleared. Default is 0.

Select Branch voltage to measure the voltage across the Series RLC Load block terminals.

Select Branch current to measure the current flowing through the Series RLC Load block.

Select Branch voltage and current to measure the voltage and the current of the Series RLC Load block.

Default is None.

Place a Multimeter block in your model to display the selected measurements during the simulation. In the Available Measurements list box of the Multimeter block, the measurement is identified by a label followed by the block name:

Specify the load type. The default value is constant Z.

If you select constant Z, the load impedance is determined from the nominal phase-to-phase voltage Vn, active power P, and reactive power (QL-QC) specified on the Parameters tab of the block dialog box. During the load flow solution, the impedance is kept constant. The effective P and Q therefore vary proportionally to the square of the bus voltage computed by the Load Flow tool.

If you select constant PQ, the active power P and reactive power Q are kept constant and equal to the values specified on the Parameters tab of the block dialog box. When you apply the load flow solution to the model (by clicking Apply in the Load Flow tool), the Nominal phase-to-phase voltage Vn parameter on the Parameters tab is automatically adjusted to the phase-to-phase bus voltage computed by the Load Flow tool.

If you select constant I, the load current is kept constant at its nominal value determined from the base voltage specified in the dialog box of the associated Load Flow Bus block and from active power P and reactive power QL and QC specified on the Parameters tab of the block dialog box. The effective P and Q therefore vary proportionally to the bus voltage computed by the Load Flow tool. When you apply the load flow solution to the model (by clicking Apply in the Load Flow tool), the pu value of the nominal voltage Vn on the Parameters tab is automatically adjusted to the square root of the load voltage (in pu) computed by the Load Flow tool.
