Suggestion: Busses (grouped grounds) #247

Suggestion: Add something like a BUS component in order to make larger schematics a bit easier to keep track of.

Let's say I want a 3 phase generator with a rectifier that generates my DC. Then after that DC I want some logic that if my first generator goes offline, it starts to use the second one.

But currently for a 3 phase generator I need 3 AC sources, with 'return' wires. Since I just want a more basic schematic, it would be nice if we had something like a ground component that I could link up to a specific group. Basically creating a bus.

With this component, I can then link the 3 'negative' sides of the AC source to a Bus A/B/C and the 'positive' side after a load as well. That way I don't have to run 'return' wires every time I add a component parallel.


If it is easy to script yourself with the javascript add-on, let me know. Because then I might consider buying that. Just like a Generator component where I can set the amount of phases, RPM and voltage would be great.

Hello @JelmerD Thank you for suggestion about BUS component, definitely thing to implement in future :+1: What do you want to script? You can code anything you want (like batteries models, emulate other components etc).
