Declaration

class ShortToGroundErrorModel;

Description

The Short To Ground Error Model can be added to any physical component on an entity, and is used as a part of the power system. It simulates a one-off short-circuit fault from the component’s input terminal to ground. The fault triggers at a random time drawn from a Gaussian distribution, or can be manually triggered. When active, a low-resistance path to ground is injected into the SPICE circuit (on a PowerBus) or applied as a parallel resistance in SelfSolve mode.

Properties

Declared	Description
IsTriggered	Whether the short-to-ground fault is currently active.
ShortResistance	The fault resistance of the short-to-ground path [ohm].Defaults to a near-zero value representing a hard short.
TriggerMean	The mean time before the fault triggers [s].
TriggerStd	The standard deviation of the trigger time [s].

Inherited	Description
IsEnabled	Is true if the object is currently enabled.
Name	The display name or tag of this object.
Parent	The currently attached parent object.

Methods

Declared	Description
Reset	Resets the fault, removing the SPICE resistor and rescheduling the random trigger.
Trigger	Manually triggers the short-to-ground fault immediately.

Inherited	Description
FindParentWithID	Returns an attached parent that satisfies the specified ID.
FindParentWithType	Returns an attached parent that satisfies the specified type.
FindRootWithID	Returns a root object that satisfies the specified ID.
FindRootWithType	Returns a root object that satisfies the specified type.
