Reference voltage to firing angle converter
This block calculates firing angle from desired voltage,
choosing either a linear (Lin
) relationship or prescribing the first harmonic (H01
) or the root mean square (RMS
) .
Since calculating the firing angle from both the H01 and the RMS involves a nonlinear equation,
both relationships have been precalculated and are interpolated from a table.

This block models the functionality of a soft starter controller, controlling the output vRef
in the range [0,1] with respect to nominal voltage.
Boolean input start = true
causes the output vRef
to be risen according to a ramp: vRef = vStart + (1 - vStart)*(time - t0)/tRampUp
.
In case the current exceeds the specified maximum current iMax
during the starting ramp, the ramp is stopped.
When the current falls below the lower threshold of current control iMin < iMax
, the ramp is continued.
Note: It is recommended to filter the measured current, e.g. using Modelica.Blocks.Continuous.Filter
Boolean input start = false
causes the output vRef
to be lowered according to a ramp: vRef = -(time - t0)/tRampDown
.
