Don't think I have Microsim pspice lying around anywhere anymore (and
non-GUI is very slow and clumsy if not using it frequently), it was an
excellent little tool (or was in late 90's when I used it last) that I
spent 100's of hours with, and is useful even for the amateur, probably
still out there somewhere on the interwebs if hunted for.

Principle problem with using it is that it doesn't have models for the
clamp ammeters transfer functions.  I also don't have the hours required to
hunt this down and run it at the moment.

Re: [Vo]:On deception. 3rd EE

2013-06-01 Thread David Roberson

Let me make a suggestion Robert.  The linear technology company publishes a 
spice program that can be downloaded and used by the general public.  This is a 
fantastic offering and I have found it extremely accurate.  Anyone who has an 
interest in electronic modeling would be well advised to get this gem.

It took me about 15 minutes to model the performance of a simple diode 
rectified system.  I made a model which showed without any doubt that the power 
being delivered by a sine wave generator can be measured at the source by 
looking only at the fundamental current sine wave component.  Any DC currents 
that flow through this source do not make any difference to the measurement of 
source power.

Also, any harmonic currents that flow due to load distortion do not change the 
power reading at the source as I have stated several times.  If you question 
this assertion, then I think it is common courteously to take the small amount 
of time requested to prove your position.  I will make myself available to help 
you install and operate a model if you wish.

The program SwCAD III also performs FFT's of the current waveform making the 
measurement we are discussing trivial.  Let me know if you need further 
assistance.

Dave

ltspice (which I use) has a nice little schematic editor (hierarchical, with 
symbols and one sheet at each level) and waveform display [you can do 
arithmetic on nodes, eg power = (V(node1)-V(node2))*I(comp.pin) ]. Works fine 
(for me) up to a couple of thousand nodes.

I'm not sure what models you want -- behavioral voltage and current models

 Bxxx node1 node2 V =  expression of node voltages, pin currents etc etc
 Bxxx node1 node2 I =  expression of node voltages, pin currents etc etc
