[Data-modeling] electricity in the commons

[Reilly Hayes]

It seems to me that you are trying to model more than types of  
current.  You are trying to model power-systems.  For example,  
alternating current used in both single and polyphase (two phase and  
three phase) power systems.

Just a thought.
