Adding Loads

To add a load to a selected wire segment, follow these steps:

• Right-click on any part of the wire to display the pop-up menu.
• Select the Source / Load / TL (Ctrl + Ins) command from the menu to open the Source / Load / TL toolbar (Fig. 1) at the bottom of the screen.
• Use the slider on the toolbar to select the desired wire segment.
• Click the Add Load button to open the Add Load dialog box (Fig. 2).
• Specify the load type, along with the required RLC values, then click OK.
• Click the Exit button to close the Source/Load/TL toolbar.

• Load types include (Fig. 2):
  • Series RL (resistor + inductor)
  • Series RC (resistor + capacitor)
  • Fixed R + jX impedance (non-frequency-dependent reactance)
  • Series RLC
  • Parallel RLC
  • Trap (series RL + parallel C)

Tip

• To customize the default color of loads, go to: Main Menu > Tools > Preferences > Workspace tab.
