Option Descriptions
Option Description

DC Rated kV

Name plate voltage rating of DC output in kV.

DC Rated FLA

Name plate current rating of DC output in amps.

Type

Specify the component for the rectifier. Select from Diode, Thyristor and IGBT. This affects power flow simulation methods. Diode and Thyristor types use Kimbark’s equations to determine the real and reactive power on the Rectifier input, and to control DC voltage or current. The IGBT type controls power factor and voltage. Control fields are specified in the Power Flow tab.

Fault FLA

Expected fault current on the DC side, in multiples of full load amp rating.

Fault Time/Block Time

Duration the fault current will last. The unit can be seconds or cycles.
