Ideal switch#

block

Block appearance in REPEAT VISION#

 The Ideal switch block implements a model of an ideal commutator, which has an internal resistance in the closedposition and is controlled by a signal applied to the Logic Port. Signal value 0 corresponds to the switch open position, any othervalue corresponds to the closed position. Switch changeover is immediate.

 At the user’s option, it is possible to take into account the inertialproperties of the switching device due to the damper circuit, which isa serial RC circuit connected in parallel to the circuit breaker.
