Loading (LD)

Purpose: To specify the impedance loading on one segment or a number of segments. Series and parallel RLC circuits can be generated. In addition, a finite conductivity can be specified for segments.

Parameters:
Integers
LDTYP (I1) - Determines the type of loading which is used. The options are:
-1 - short all loads (used to nullify previous loads). The remainder of the card is left blank.
0 - series RLC, input ohms, henries, farads.
1 - parallel RLC, input ohms, henries, farads.
2 - series RLC, input ohms/meter, henries/meter, farads/meter.
3 - parallel RLC, input ohms/meter, henries/meter, farads/meter.
4 - impedance, input resistance and reactance in ohms.
5 - wire conductivity, mhos/meter.

LDTAG (I2) Tag number; identifies the wire section(s) to be loaded by its (their) tag numbers. The next two parameters can be used to further specify certain segment(s) on the wire section(s). Blank or zero here implies that absolute segment numbers are being used in the next two parameters to identify segments. If the next two paramters ara blank or zero, all segments with tag LDTAG are loaded.

LDTAGF (13) - Equal to m specifies the mth segment of the set of segments whose tag numbers equal the tag number specified in the previous parameter. If the previous parameter (LDTAG) is zero, LDTAGF then specifies an absolute segment number. If both LDTAG and LDTAGF are zero, all segments will be loaded.

LDTAGT (14) - Equal to n specifies the nth segment of the set of segments whose tag numbers equal the tag number specified in the parameter LDTAG. This parameter must be greater than or equal to the previous param- eter. The loading specified is applied to each of the mth through nth segments of the set of segments having tags equal to LDTAG. Again if LDTAG is zero, these parameters refer to absolute segment numbers. If LDTAGT is left blank, it is set equal to the previous parameter (LDTAGF).
Floating Point Input for the Various Load Types
a. Series RLC (LDTYP = 0)
ZLR (Fl) - Resistance in ohms, if none, leave blank.
ZLI (F2) - Inductance in henries, if none, leave blank.
ZLC (F3) - Capacitance in farads, if none, leave blank.

ZLR - Resistance in ohms/meter, if none, leave blank.
ZLI - Inductance in henries/meter, if none, leave blank.

d. Parallel RLCRLC (LDTYP = 3), input parameters per unit length, floating point input same as c.

e. Impedance (LDTYP = 4)
ZLR - Resistance in ohms.
