Transmission Line Terminal

One end of a transmission line. References a Transmission Line Model by name (single- or three-phase) and pairs with a second terminal sharing the same Transmission Line name. The two paired terminals are assembled into one synthetic Tline at netlist time; the terminal itself carries the electrical node (single-phase or 3-phase, depending on the selected model).

Parameters

Config

NameLabelTypeDefaultUnitsDescription
tline_modelTransmission Line Modelstring(empty)The Transmission Line Model this terminal uses. Pick from the models placed on the canvas. The model decides whether this terminal is single-phase or three-phase.
transmission_line_nameTransmission Line namestring(empty)Name that pairs this terminal with exactly one other. Two terminals sharing this name form one transmission line. Suggestions list lines that still need a partner.
measure_currentMonitor currentenum (Off / On)0When On, this terminal publishes the current flowing at its pin as an observable. Each end of the line is monitored independently.
current_dirPositive Current Directionenum (Into Terminal / Out From Terminal)outSign convention for the monitored current. 'Into Terminal' = positive when current flows into this terminal (toward the line); 'Out From Terminal' = positive when current flows out of this terminal (toward the network).

Current Monitoring

NameLabelTypeDefaultUnitsDescription
current_nameCurrent namestring(empty)A (A, kA)Signal name for this terminal's current. Leave blank to auto-name it after the line. Single-phase only. Pick a unit; the published value is scaled to it.
current_name_aPhase A current namestring(empty)A (A, kA)Signal name for phase A current at this terminal. Leave blank to skip phase A. Pick a unit; the published value is scaled to it.
current_name_bPhase B current namestring(empty)A (A, kA)Signal name for phase B current at this terminal. Leave blank to skip phase B. Pick a unit; the published value is scaled to it.
current_name_cPhase C current namestring(empty)A (A, kA)Signal name for phase C current at this terminal. Leave blank to skip phase C. Pick a unit; the published value is scaled to it.
