This component can be used to define a simple, series passive branch that is runtime configurable (i.e. it will support different R, L and C parameter values when situated within a multiply instanced module) . The component may be used in either single-phase, or single-line 3 phase circuits. Each separate element in the component may be enabled/disabled, providing all possible series combinations. Parallel combinations may be constructed by using multiple components.
Advanced users may also find this component useful in the design of 'black box' modules where the actual RLC parameters are invisible to other users. Users should be aware that if this component is configured to have a certain type (ex. capacitance) and if that parameter value becomes non-positive during the course of the simulation, then that portion (i.e. the capacitance) is not modeled. If all the values specified become non-positive, then the branch will be modeled as an open-circuit branch (i.e. an open switch).
