.TEMP { (one or more temperature) values } [default 27 °C]
Some temperature statements
.TEMP 50
.TEMP 25 50
.TEMP 0 25 50 100

Program for analysis of three phase circuit representing generator transmission line and load - PSPICE

The aim of the program is to analyze the three phase circuit representing generator transmission line and load and to plot 3 phase current and neutral current.

The format for a circuit file in PSPICE

The Format for a Circuit File is as follows:
Title
Circuit description
Analysis description
Output description
.End
Note:
1. First line is the title line, always in the first line only& it may be contain any type of text
2. Last line must be the .End command and it always in the last line only.
3. The order of remaining three lines is not important in sequence &does not affect the O/P results of Simulation.
4. In a statement if more than one line, the statement can be continue on the next line,
a continuation line is identified by a(+)sign in the first column of the next line.
The continuation line must follow one another in the proper order.
5. P Spice comments or statements can be in either upper case or lower case.
6. In P Spice the symbols are represented with out subscripts Ex:-Vs =VS , Is =IS , R1 =R1 ,

Unit suffixes in PSPICE

The Unit suffixes in P Spice are as follows.
V = Volts
A = Amps
HZ = Hertz
OHM = Ohm(O)
H = Henry
F = Farad
DEG = Degree.

In the absence of scale and unit suffixes, the unit of voltage, current, frequency, inductance, capacitance and angle are, by default, volt, amps, hertz, henrys, farads, and degrees, respectively. P Spice ignores any unit suffix.

25E-3 25.0E-3 25M 25MA 25MOHM 25MH

NOTE:-The scale suffixes are all upper case, but PSpice allows lower case.
M Means “milli,” not “mega” 2MO is written as 2MEG or 2MEGOHM

Options in PSPICE

.OPTIONS (Options)
P Spice allows various options to control and to limit parameters for the various analysis. The general form is
.OPTIONS [ <(options)name>] [ <(options)name>=]
the options can be listed in any order. There are two types of options
1. With out values (used as flags of various kinds, and only option name is mentioned
2. With values (used to specify certain optional parameters, name and their values) as given below.

Types of analysis in PSPICE

Types of Analysis
PSpice allows various types of analysis. Each analysis is invoked by including its command statements.
Ex:-.DC command invoked the DC Sweep.
DC Analysis is used for circuits with time variant sources(ex:-steady state dc source ).
It calculates all node voltages and branch currents over a range of values ,and their quiescent(dc)values are the outputs.
Command Meaning
1..DC DC Sweep of an input voltage or current source ,a model parameter ,or temperature over a range of values
2..OP Determination of the linearized model parameters of non linearized devices.
or DC Operating Point or Quiescent Point or Bias Point.
3..TF Small Signal Transfer Function with small signal Gain, input resistance, and output resistance.
4..SENS DC Small signal sensitivities.
5..TRAN Transient analysis with time variant sources It calculates all node voltages and branch currents over a time interval ,and their instantaneous values are the out puts
6.(.) dot an integral part of the command.

It can perform various analyses which invoked by including its command statements .It always calculates the bias point, which consists of all node voltages as well as currents and power dissipation of all voltage sources can be sent tot the output file by the .OP Command
