I am an electrician's assistant teacher, in an institute and I discovered this excellent tool by chance today. I wanted to ask you if the voltage can be raised in AC up to 220V single-phase or 380V three-phase and 50 Hz.

We'd like to eventually make a household/electrician version of CCK that would better serve the user's goals, but it's not currently on the radar.

On the Lab Screen, there is a Phase Shift control for the AC sources that may be of use. Currently, the range only extends to 180 degrees, but this was a somewhat arbitrary choice. For three-phase voltages, we would need to extend the range to 240 degrees, which should be doable. I'll open a separate issue for that.

Thanks, I'll reply to user.
