Infinite Resistance

R2026b

Electrical element for setting initial voltage difference between two nodes

  • Infinite Resistance block

Libraries:
Simscape / Foundation Library / Electrical / Electrical Elements

Description

The Infinite Resistance block represents an infinite electrical resistance that draws no current. Use this block to set the initial voltage difference between two electrical nodes without affecting model equations. To do this, use the Initial Targets section in the block dialog box and set the priority and initial target value for the Voltage difference variable prior to simulation. For more information, see Set Priority and Initial Target for Block Variables.

Variables

To set the priority and initial target values for the block variables prior to simulation, use the Initial Targets section in the block dialog box or Property Inspector. For more information, see Set Priority and Initial Target for Block Variables.

Nominal values provide a way to specify the expected magnitude of a variable in a model. Using system scaling based on nominal values increases the simulation robustness. Nominal values can come from different sources, one of which is the Nominal Values section in the block dialog box or Property Inspector. For more information, see Modify Nominal Values for a Block Variable.
