1 General Description
The R-L shunt is a reactance/inductivity and a resistance in series. To define the reactance/inductivity
and the resistance there are two input modes:
a) Design Parameter: the parameter are defined with the rated reactive power or the rated cur-
rent and a quality factor
b) Layout Parameter: the parameter are defined with the reactance or inductivity and the resis-
tance in Ohm
