The SPICE 3 programming language and its application to power system analysis

The authors describe the use of the SPICE 3 programming language for power system fault analysis. SPICE 3 is a general-purpose simulation program for analysis of DC or AC electrical circuits. One of the additional features of this language as compared to its previous version is its ability to model the operations of a switch. It is concluded that this makes SPICE 3 quite suitable for transient analysis of electrical circuits. The versatility and capability of this language are demonstrated by two simple example problems.<
