Fields

CurrentThreshold

The threshold of the fuse

[Unit(UnitType.AMPERE)]
[Range(0, 1.7976931348623157E+308)]
public double CurrentThreshold

Field Value

double

FuseBlowTime

The time that the threshold was blown

[Unit(UnitType.SECOND)]
[ReadOnly]
[Metadata(IsAdvanced = true)]
public double FuseBlowTime

Field Value

double

ResetDuration

The time taken to reset the fuse after it is blown. If 0.0 then the fuse cannot be reset.

[Unit(UnitType.SECOND)]
[Range(0, 1.7976931348623157E+308)]
public double ResetDuration

Field Value

double

ThresholdDuration

The time required for the current to exceed the threshold to blow the fuse.

[Unit(UnitType.SECOND)]
[Range(0, 1.7976931348623157E+308)]
public double ThresholdDuration

Field Value

double

ThresholdMetTime

The time the threshold was first met

[Metadata(IsAdvanced = true)]
public double ThresholdMetTime

Field Value

double

Properties

IsFuseBlown

A flag if the fuse was blown

[ReadOnly]
[Metadata(ContainedIn = "PowerModel", ContainedName = "IsOpenCircuit")]
public bool IsFuseBlown { get; }

Property Value

bool

Methods

BuildPower(string, string)

Builds the power components based on the power bus reference. Here, the interfaced component will be able to assign its SPICE components to the power bus. This will return an array of IEntity objects that represent the SPICE components.

[Hidden]
public override IEntity[] BuildPower(string negative, string positive)

Parameters

negative string

The input node for the entity

positive string

The output node for the entity

Returns

IEntity[]

ConfigurePower(double)

Configures the power interface to its default state, which will include updating the variables of any SPICE power components to the correct state.

public override bool ConfigurePower(double step)

Parameters

step double

[s] The step time for the circuit run

Returns

bool

A success flag

OnUpdate(double, double)

Called when the object should update from the simulation tick. This will take in a time and a step, where the time is the time of the clock before updating the object.

protected override void OnUpdate(double time, double step)

Parameters

time double

[s] Current time of the simulation before the update

step double

[s] The time-step to update during this tick

Reset()

Resets the blown fuse back to its original state, closing off the circuit.

public void Reset()
