Currents on Power Systems |
| Q.
Can I see how currents flow and how the power system work? Is there a tool or model that I can play with? |
| A.
Yes, the figure below has workable switches that you can use to play with and explore the power system operation. It is based on the operation of two light bulbs, showing all the power system beyond them and the currents that are caused by operating the switches. The model provides a simple way to visualize these currents, distinguish among them, and see where they typically flow and how they mix up.

|
Click on either switch to turn its corresponding light bulb on or off. Choose one of the “show” buttons above the figure to view all the currents, the supply circuit currents only, or the utilization circuit currents only.
