Power Supply Sub-model: The voltage supply block

consists of a three-phase sinusoidal voltage generator and

a terminal-voltage calculation block which accounts for
the voltage drop in the supply cable. The three-phase
sinusoidal voltage generator is based on Equation and one
of the three phase voltages is modelled as shown below:

Due to the voltage drop in the supply cable,

the terminal voltage is given by Equation:
