Mark the direction of current through each resistor (Fig. 1.2). The equivalent resistance of the series-parallel combination of resistors can be found by successive applications of the rules for combining series resistors and parallel resistors. 2. Combine All Series Resistors In a series circuit, the total or equivalent resistance R EQS seen by the source is equal to the sum of the values of the individual resistors: R EQS R 1 R 2 R 3 R N. Calculate the series equivalent of the elements connected in series in sections DE, CG, and GF: R EQS (section DE) R 13 R , R EQS (section CG) R 7 R , and R EQS (section GF) R 10 R Replace the series elements included in sections DE, CG, and GF by their equivalent values (Fig. 1.3). 3. Combine All Parallel Resistors In the case of a parallel circuit of two unequal resistors in parallel, the total or equivalent resistance R EQP can be found from the following product-over-sum equation: R EQP R 1 R 2 R 1 R 2 /(R 1 R 2 ), where stands for in parallel with. The equivalent parallel resistance is always less than the smaller of the two resistors. In section CG, R 5 R 6 ( )/( ) 600. Section CG now consists of two 600- resistors in parallel.

For section CG, R CG 600/2 300 ; for section BC, R BC 100/ / 3 ; for section EF, R EF 104/2 52 ; for section GF, R GF 600/ In a circuit of three or more unequal resistors in parallel, the total, or equivalent resistance R EQP is equal to the inverse of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistance values: R EQP 1/(1/R 1 1/R 2 1/R 3 1/R N ). The equivalent parallel resistance is always less than the smallest-value resistor in the parallel combination. Calculate the equivalent resistance of the elements connected in parallel in section DE: R 15 R 16 R 17 1/(1/100 1/200 1/600) 60. Calculate R DE : R DE (240)(60)/(240 60) 48. Replace all parallel elements by their equivalent values (Fig. 1.4). 4. Combine the Remaining Resistances to Obtain the Total Equivalent Resistance Combine the equivalent series resistances of Fig. 1.4 to obtain the simple seriesparallel circuit of Fig. 1.5: R AB R BC R AC R EQS / / 3, R CG R GF R CF R EQS , R CD R DE R EF R CF R EQS Calculate the total equivalent resistance R EQT : R EQT 53 1 / 3 ( ) / 3.

Substituting values yields: I 1 E/R EQT 460/153 1 / 3 3 A. FIGURE 1.5 Circuit of Fig. 1.4 reduced to a simple series-parallel configuration. FIGURE 1.6 Final reduced circuit of Fig. 1.1.

5 BASIC NETWORK ANALYSIS Compute the Current Through, and the Voltage Drop Across, Each Resistor in the Circuit Refer to Figs. 1.2 and 1.4. Analysis of R 1 yields: I 1 3 A (calculated in Step 5); V 1 V AB I 1 R 1 (3)(20) 60 V; and for R 2, R 3, and R 4 we have: V BC V 2 V 3 V 4 I 1 R BC (3)(33 1 / 3 ) 100 V. Current I 2 I 3 I 4 100/100 1 A. Hence, V CF can be calculated: V CF E (V AB V BC ) 460 (60 100) 300 V. The current from C to G to F is 300/ A. Kirchoff s current law (KCL) states: The algebraic sum of the currents entering any node or junction of a circuit is equal to the algebraic sum of the currents leaving that node or junction: I entering Ileaving. Applying KCL at node C, we find I A. Therefore, V 12 V CD I 12 R 12 (2.5)(20) 50 V. The voltage-divider principle states that the voltage V N across any resistor R N in a series circuit is equal to the product of the total applied voltage V T and R N divided by the sum of the series resistors, R EQS : V N V T (R N /R EQS ). This equation shows that V N is directly proportional to R N and V CG V GF 300 (300/600) 150 V. Hence, I 7 I 8 150/ A, V 7 I 7 R 7 (0.25)(200) 50 V, V 8 I 8 R 8 (0.25)(400) 100 V, I 10 I / A, V 10 I 10 R 10 (0.25)(400) 100 V, V 11 I 11 R 11 (0.25)(200) 50 V. The current-divider principle states that in a circuit containing N parallel branches, the current I N in a particular branch R N is equal to the product of the applied current I T and the equivalent resistance R EQP of the parallel circuit divided by R N : I N I T (R EQP /R N ). When there are two resistors R A and R B in parallel, the current I A in R A is I A I T [R B /(/R A R B )]; the current I B in R B is I B I T [R A /(R A R B )]. When R A is equal to R B, I A I B I T /2. Refer to Figs. 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 for the remaining calculations: (R 5 R 6 ) R 7 R From the preceding equations, the value of the current entering the parallel combination of R 5 and R 6 is I 5 I 6 0.5/ A. I (1500/2500) 0.15 A, and I (1000/2500) 0.10 A. Ohm s law can be used to check the value of V 5 and V 6, which should equal V CG and which was previously calculated to equal 150 V: V 5 I 5 R 5 (0.15)(1000) 150 V and V 6 I 6 R 6 (0.10)(1500) 150 V. The current entering node G equals 0.5 A. Because R 9 R 10 R 11, I 9 I 10 I / A. From Ohm s law: V 9 I 9 R 9 (0.25)(600) 150 V, V 10 I 10 R 10 (0.25)(400) 100 V, V 11 I 11 R 11 (0.25)(200) 50 V. These values check since V GF V V V 10 V V. The remaining calculations show that: V DE I 12 R DE (2.5)(48) 120 V, I 13 I / A, V 13 I 13 R 13 (0.5)(200) 100 V, and V 14 I 14 R 14 (0.5)(40) 20 V. Since V 15 V 16 V 17 V DE 120 V, I / A, I / A, and I / A. These current values check, since I 15 I 16 I 17 I 13, A, which enters node D and which leaves node E. Because R 18 R 19, I 18 I / A and V EF V 18 V 19 (2.5)(52) 130 V. Kirchoff s voltage law (KVL) states that the algebraic sum of the potential rises and drops around a closed loop or path is zero. This law can also be expressed as: V rises V drops. As a final check E V AB V BC V CD V DE V EF or 460 V 60 V 100 V 50 V 120 V 130 V 460 V. Related Calculations. Any reducible dc circuit, that is, any circuit with a single power source that can be reduced to one equivalent resistance, no matter how complex, can be solved in a manner similar to the preceding procedure.

6 1.6 HANDBOOK OF ELECTRIC POWER CALCULATIONS BRANCH-CURRENT ANALYSIS OF A DC NETWORK Calculate the current through each of the resistors in the dc circuit of Fig. 1.7 using the branch-current method of solution. 1. Label the Circuit Label all the nodes (Fig. 1.8). There are four nodes in this circuit, indicated by the letters A, B, C, and D. A node is a junction where two or more current paths come together. A branch is a portion of a circuit consisting of one or more elements in series. Figure 1.8 contains three branches, each of which is a current path in the network. Branch ABC consists of the power supply E 1 and R 1 in series, branch ADC consists of the power supply E 2 and R 2 in series, and branch CA consists of R 3 only. Assign a distinct current of arbitrary direction to each branch of the network (I 1, I 2, I 3 ). Indicate the polarities of each resistor as determined by the assumed direction of current and the passive sign convention. The polarity of the power-supply terminals is fixed and is therefore not dependent on the assumed direction of current. 2. Apply KVL and KCL to the Network Apply KVL around each closed loop. A closed loop is any continuous connection of branches that allows us to trace a path which leaves a point in one direction and returns to that same starting point from another direction without leaving the network. Applying KVL to the minimum number of nodes that will include all the branch currents, one obtains: loop 1 (ABCA): 8 2I 1 4I 3 0; loop 2 (ADCA): 24 I 2 4I 3 0. KCL at node C:I 1 I 2 I Solve the Equations The above three simultaneous equations can be solved by the elimination method or by using third-order determinants. The solution yields these results: I 1 4 A, I 2 8 A, and I 3 4 A. The negative sign for I 1 indicates that the actual current flows in the direction opposite to that assumed. Related Calculations. The above calculation procedure is an application of Kirchoff s laws to an irreducible circuit. Such a circuit cannot be solved by the method used in the previous calculation procedure because it contains two power supplies. Once the branch currents are determined, all other quantities such as voltage and power can be calculated. FIGURE 1.7 Circuit to be analyzed by branch currents. FIGURE 1.8 Labeling the circuit of Fig. 1.7.

7 BASIC NETWORK ANALYSIS 1.7 MESH ANALYSIS OF A DC NETWORK Calculate the current through each of the resistors in the dc circuit of Fig. 1.9 using mesh analysis. 1. Assign Mesh or Loop Currents The term mesh is used because of the similarity in appearance between the closed loops of the network and a wire mesh fence. One can view the circuit as a window frame and the meshes as the windows. A mesh is a closed pathway with no other closed pathway within it. A loop is also a closed pathway, but a loop may have other closed pathways within it. Therefore, all meshes are loops, but all loops are not meshes. For example, the loop made by the closed path BCDAB (Fig. 1.9) is not a mesh because it contains two closed paths: BCAB and CDAC. Loop currents I 1 and I 2 are drawn in the clockwise direction in each window (Fig. 1.10). The loop current or mesh current is a fictitious current that enables us to obtain the actual branch currents more easily. The number of loop currents required is always equal to the number of windows of the network. This assures that the resulting equations are all independent. Loop currents may be drawn in any direction, but assigning a clockwise direction to all of them simplifies the process of writing equations. 2. Indicate the Polarities within Each Loop Identify polarities to agree with the assumed direction of the loop currents and the passive sign convention. The polarities across R 3 are the opposite for each loop current. The polarities of E 1 and E 2 are unaffected by the direction of the loop currents passing through them. 3. Write KVL around Each Mesh Write KVL around each mesh in any direction. It is convenient to follow the same direction as the loop current: mesh I: 8 2I 1 4(I 1 I 2 ) 0; mesh II: 24 4(I 2 I 1 ) I Solve the Equations Solving the two simultaneous equations gives the following results: I 1 4 A and I 2 8 A. The minus signs indicate that the two loop currents flow in a direction opposite to that assumed; that is, they both flow counterclockwise. Loop current I 1 is therefore 4 A in the direction of CBAC. Loop current I 2 is 8 A in the direction ADCA. The true FIGURE 1.9 mesh analysis. Circuit to be analyzed using FIGURE 1.10 Labeling the circuit of Fig. 1.9.

8 1.8 HANDBOOK OF ELECTRIC POWER CALCULATIONS direction of loop current I 2 through resistor R 3 is from C to A. The true direction of loop current I 1 through resistor R 3 is from A to C. Therefore, the current through R 3 equals (I 2 I 1 ) or A in the direction of CA. Related Calculations. This procedure solved the same network as in Fig The mesh-analysis solution eliminates the need to substitute KCL into the equations derived by the application of KVL. The initial writing of the equations accomplishes the same result. Mesh analysis is therefore more frequently applied than branch-current analysis. However, it should be noted that mesh analysis can only be applied to planar circuits. NODAL ANALYSIS OF A DC NETWORK Calculate the current through each of the resistors in the dc circuit of Fig using nodal analysis. 1. Label the Circuit Label all nodes (Fig. 1.12). One of the nodes (node A) is chosen as the reference node. It can be thought of as a circuit ground, which is at zero voltage or ground potential. Nodes B and D are already known to be at the potential of the source voltages. The voltage at node C (V C ) is unknown. Assume that V C V B and V C V D. Draw all three currents I 1, I 2, and I 3 away from node C, that is, toward the reference node. 2. Write KCL at Node C I 1 I 2 I Express Currents in Terms of Circuit Voltages Using Ohm s Law Refer to Fig. 1.12: I 1 V 1 /R 1 (V C 8)/2, I 2 V 2 /R 2 (V C 24)/1, and I 3 V 3 /R 3 V C /4. 4. Substitute in KCL Equation of Step 2 Substituting the current equations obtained in Step 3 into KCL of Step 2, we find I 1 I 2 I 3 0 or (V C 8)/2 (V C 24)/1 V C /4 0. Because the only unknown is V C, this simple equation can be solved to obtain V C 16 V. FIGURE 1.11 analysis. Circuit to be analyzed by nodal FIGURE Labeling the circuit of Fig.

9 BASIC NETWORK ANALYSIS Solve for All Currents I 1 (V C 8)/2 (16 8)/2 4 A (true direction) and I 2 (V C 24)/1 (16 24)/1 8 A. The negative sign indicates that I 2 flows toward node C instead of in the assumed direction (away from node C). I 3 V C /4 16/4 4 A (true direction). Related Calculations. Nodal analysis is a very useful technique for solving networks. This procedure solved the same circuits as in Figs. 1.7 and 1.9. DIRECT-CURRENT NETWORK SOLUTION USING SUPERPOSITION THEOREM Calculate the value of the current through resistor R 3 in the dc network of Fig. 1.13a using the superposition theorem. The superposition theorem states: In any linear network containing more than one source of electromotive force (emf) or current, the current through any branch is the algebraic sum of the currents produced by each source acting independently. 1. Consider the Effect of E A Alone (Fig. 1.13b) Because E B has no internal resistance, the E B source is replaced by a short circuit. (A current source, if present, is replaced by an open circuit.) Therefore, R TA 100 ( ) 150 and I TA E A /R TA 30/ ma. From the current-divider rule, I 3A 200 ma/2 100 ma. 2. Consider the Effect of E B Alone (Fig. 1.13c) Because E A has no internal resistance, the E A source is replaced by a short circuit. Therefore, R TB 100 ( ) 150 and I TB E B /R TB 15/ ma. From the current-divider rule, I 3B 100 ma/2 50 ma. FIGURE 1.13 Application of the superposition theorem: (a) current in R 3 to be determined; (b) effect of E A alone; and (c) effect of E B alone.

10 1.10 HANDBOOK OF ELECTRIC POWER CALCULATIONS 3. Calculate the Value of I 3 The algebraic sum of the component currents I 3A and I 3B is used to obtain the true magnitude and direction of I 3 : I 3 I 3A I 3B ma (in the direction of I 3A ). Related Calculations. The superposition theorem simplifies the analysis of a linear network only having more than one source of emf. This theorem may also be applied in a network containing both dc and ac sources of emf. This is considered later in the section. DIRECT-CURRENT NETWORK SOLUTION USING THEVENIN S THEOREM Calculate the value of the current I L through the resistor R L in the dc network of Fig. 1.14a using Thevenin s theorem. Thevenin s theorem states: Any two-terminal linear network containing resistances and sources of emf and current may be replaced by a single source of emf in series with a single resistance. The emf of the single source of emf, called E Th, is the open-circuit emf at the network terminal. The single-series resistance, called R Th, is the resistance between the network terminals when all of the independent sources are replaced by their internal resistances. 1. Calculate the Thevenin Voltage (Fig. 1.14b) When the Thevenin equivalent circuit is determined for a network, the process is known as thevenizing the circuit. FIGURE 1.14 Application of Thevenin s theorem: (a) current I L to be determined; (b) calculating E Th ; (c) calculating R Th ; and (d) resultant Thevenin equivalent circuit.

11 BASIC NETWORK ANALYSIS 1.11 The load resistor is removed as shown in Fig. 1.14b. The open-circuit terminal voltage of the network is calculated; this value is E Th. Because no current can flow through R 3, the voltage E Th (V AB ) is the same as the voltage across resistor R 2. Use the voltage-divider rule to find E Th : E Th (100 V) [100/( )] 50 V. 2. Calculate the Thevenin Resistance (Fig. 1.14c) The network is redrawn with the source of emf replaced by a short circuit. (If a current source is present, it is replaced by an open circuit.) The resistance of the redrawn network as seen by looking back into the network from the load terminals is calculated. This value is R Th, where R Th 50 (100 ) (100 ) Draw the Thevenin Equivalent Circuit (Fig. 1.14d) The Thevenin equivalent circuit consists of the series combination of E Th and R Th. The load resistor R L is connected across the output terminals of this equivalent circuit. R T R Th R L , and I L E Th /R T 50/150 1 / 3 A. Related Calculations. With respect to the terminals only, the Thevenin circuit is equivalent to the original linear network. Changes in R L do not require any calculations for a new Thevenin circuit. The simple series Thevenin circuit of Fig. 1.14d can be used to solve for load currents each time R L is changed. The Thevenin theorem is also applicable to networks with dependent sources. Additionally, node-voltage analysis and meshcurrent analysis may be applied to determine V Th. In rare cases, with only dependent sources present, one may have to assume a fictitious 1 A or 1V injection source at the terminals. DIRECT-CURRENT NETWORK SOLUTION USING NORTON S THEOREM Calculate the value of the current I L through the resistor R L in the dc network of Fig. 1.15a using Norton s theorem. FIGURE 1.15 Application of Norton s theorem: (a) current I L to be determined; (b) calculating R N ; (c) calculating I N ; and (d) resultant Norton equivalent circuit.

12 1.12 HANDBOOK OF ELECTRIC POWER CALCULATIONS FIGURE 1.16 Source conversion equations. Norton s theorem states: Any two-terminal linear dc network can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a constant-current source I N in parallel with a resistor R N. 1. Calculate the Norton Parallel Resistance, R N (Fig. 1.15b) The load resistor is removed (Fig. 1.15b). All sources are set to zero (current sources are replaced by open circuits, and voltage sources are replaced by short circuits). R N is calculated as the resistance of the redrawn network as seen by looking back into the network from the load terminals A and B: R N 50 ( ) 100. A comparison of Figs. 1.14c and 1.15b shows that R N R Th. 2. Calculate the Norton Constant-Current Source, I N (Fig. 15c) I N is the short-circuit current between terminals A and B. R T 100 ( ) / 3 and I T E/R T (100/133 1 / 3 ) 3 / 4 A. From the current-divider rule: I N ( 3 / 4 A) (100)/(100 50) 0.5 A. 3. Draw the Norton Equivalent Circuit (Fig. 1.15d) The Norton equivalent circuit consists of the parallel combination of I N and R N. The load resistor R L is connected across the output terminals of this equivalent circuit. From the current-divider rule: I L (0.5 A)[100/(100 50)] 1 / 3 A. Related Calculations. This problem solved the same circuit as in Fig. 1.14a. It is often convenient or necessary to have a voltage source (Thevenin equivalent) rather than a current source (Norton equivalent) or a current source rather than a voltage source. Figure 1.16 shows the source conversion equations which indicate that a Thevenin equivalent circuit can be replaced by a Norton equivalent circuit, and vice versa, provided that the following equations are used: R N R Th ; E Th I N R Th I N R N, and I N E Th /R N E Th /R Th. The conversion between Thevenin and Norton equivalents is generally known as a source transformation. BALANCED DC BRIDGE NETWORK Calculate the value of R x in the balanced dc bridge network of Fig

13 BASIC NETWORK ANALYSIS 1.13 FIGURE 1.17 Analysis of a balanced dc bridge. 1. Solve for R x The bridge network is balanced when R 3 is adjusted so that V A V B. Then: R 1 /R 2 R 3 /R x. Solving for R x, we find R x R 2 R 3 /R 1 (20)(2)/10 4 k. Related Calculations. This network topology is classically known as a Wheatstone Bridge and is used to precisely measure resistances of medium values in the range of 1 ohm to 1 mega-ohm. There is a potential drop across terminals A and B when the bridge is not balanced, causing current to flow through any element connected to those terminals. Mesh analysis, nodal analysis, Thevenin s theorem, or Norton s theorem may be used to solve the unbalanced network for voltages and currents. Using the same topology of the circuit (Fig. 1.17), but replacing the dc source with an ac source and the four resistors with properly biased diodes, one obtains a simple rectifier circuit for converting ac input to a unidirectional output. UNBALANCED DC BRIDGE NETWORK Calculate the value of R EQT in the unbalanced dc bridge network of Fig Convert the Upper Delta to an Equivalent Wye Circuit Delta-to-wye and wye-to-delta conversion formulas apply to Fig The formulas for delta-to-wye conversion are: R 1 R A R C /(R A R B R C ), R 2 R B R C /(R A R B

The formulas for wye-to-delta conversion are: R A (R 1 R 2 R 1 R 3 R 2 R 3 )/R 2, R B (R 1 R 2 R 1 R 3 R 2 R 3 /R 1 ), and R C (R 1 R 2 R 1 R 3 R 2 R 3 )/R 3. The upper delta of Fig is converted to its equivalent wye by the conversion formulas (see Fig. 1.20): R 1 [(30)(60)]/( ) 12.9, R 2 [(50)(60)]/( ) 21.4, and R 3 [(50)(30)]/( ) From the simplified series-parallel circuit of Fig. 1.20b, it can be seen that: R EQT 10.7 [( ) ( )] Related Calculations. Delta-to-wye and wye-to-delta conversion is used to reduce the series-parallel equivalent circuits, thus eliminating the need to apply mesh or nodal analysis. The wye and delta configurations often appear as shown in Fig They are then referred to as a tee (T) or a pi ( ) network. The equations used to convert from a tee to a pi network the exactly the same as those used for the wye and delta transformation. ANALYSIS OF A SINUSOIDAL WAVE Given: the voltage e(t) 170 sin 377t.

ANALYSIS OF A SQUARE WAVE Find the average and rms values of the square wave of Fig Calculate the Average Value The average value, or dc component, of the symmetrical square wave is zero; therefore: V dc V avg Calculate the rms Value The rms value is found by squaring the wave over a period of 2 s. This gives a value equal to 100 V 2, which is a constant value over the entire period. Thus, the mean over the period is V 2. The square root of 100 V 2 equals 10 V. Therefore, the rms value is V 10 V. FIGURE 1.22 Square wave to be analyzed.

This equation, referred to as a Fourier series, shows that a symmetrical square wave beginning at t 0 has no dc component, no even harmonics, and an infinite number of odd harmonics.

Figure 1.23 is the same wave as Fig except that it has been offset by the addition of a dc component equal to 2 V. The rms, or effective, value of a periodic waveform is equal to the direct current, which dissipates the same energy in a given resistor. Since the offset wave has a dc component equal to 2 V, its rms value of 10.2 V is higher than the symmetrical square wave of Fig FIGURE 1.23 Offset wave to be analyzed.

Hence, Z 3 j Then, I E/Z (0.707)(10) 0 / A. Therefore, the maximum value is I m 1.414/ A and the current in the time domain is i 0 2 sin (377t 53 ). V R IR ( ) (3 0 ) V.

This concept of a dc component superimposed on a sinusoidal ac component is illustrated in Fig This figure shows the decay of a dc component because of a short circuit and also shows how the asymmetrical short-circuit current gradually becomes symmetrical when the dc component decays to zero.

Calculate I From Ohm s law for ac circuits, I 120/ A. Because I is a reference it can be expressed in polar form as I A. The angle between the voltage and current in Fig. 1.26c is the same as the angle in the impedance triangle of Fig. 1.26b. Therefore E V. Related Calculations. In a series RLC circuit the net reactive voltage may be zero (when V L V C ), inductive (when V L V C ), or capacitive (when V L V C ). The current in such a circuit may be in phase with, lag, or lead the applied emf. When V L V C, the condition is referred to as series resonance. Voltages V L and V C may be higher than the applied voltage E, because the only limiting opposition to current is resistance R. A circuit in series resonance has maximum current, minimum impedance, and a power factor of 100 percent. STEADY-STATE AC ANALYSIS OF A PARALLEL RLC CIRCUIT Calculate the impedance of the parallel RLC circuit of Fig. 1.27a. 1. Calculate the Currents in R, L, and C In a parallel circuit, it is convenient to use the voltage as a reference; therefore E V. Because the R, L, and C parameters of this circuit are the same as in

The equivalent impedance diagram is given in Fig. 1.27c. Note that Z EQ can also be calculated by Z EQ 1 1 R 1 1 jx L jx C since Z L jx L and Z C jx C. Related Calculations. The impedance diagram of Fig. 1.27c has a negative angle. This indicates that the circuit is an RC equivalent circuit. Figure 1.27b verifies this observation

22 1.22 HANDBOOK OF ELECTRIC POWER CALCULATIONS because the total circuit current I T leads the applied voltage. In a parallel RLC circuit the net reactive current may be zero (when I L I C ), inductive (when I L I C ), or capacitive (when I L I C ). The current in such a circuit may be in phase with, lag, or lead the applied emf. When I L I C, this condition is referred to as parallel resonance. Currents I L and I C may be much higher than the total line current, I T. A circuit in parallel resonance has a minimum current, maximum impedance, and a power factor of 100 percent. Note in Fig. 1.27b that I T I R ji X, where I X I C I L. ANALYSIS OF A SERIES-PARALLEL AC NETWORK A series-parallel ac network is shown in Fig Calculate Z EQ, I 1, I 2, and I Combine All Series Impedances The solution to this problem is similar to that for the first problem in the section, except that vector algebra must be used for the reactances.

I 3 I 1 Z 2 /(Z 2 Z 3 ) ( )( )/ [(500 j1200) (800 j600)] A. Related Calculations. Any reducible ac circuit (i.e., any circuit that can be reduced to one equivalent impedance Z EQ with a single power source), no matter how complex, can be solved in a similar manner to that just described. The dc network theorems used in previous problems can be applied to ac networks except that vector algebra must be used for the ac quantities. ANALYSIS OF POWER IN AN AC CIRCUIT Find the total watts, total VARS, and total volt-amperes in the ac circuit of Fig. 1.29a. Recall that watts, VARS, and volt-amperes are all dimensionally the same, that is, the product of voltage and current. However, we use the designators of watts (W) to represent real power (instantaneous or average), volt-amperes-reactive (VARS) to represent reactive power, and volt-amperes (VA) to represent complex (or apparent) power. 1. Study the Power Triangle Figure 1.30 shows power triangles for ac circuits. Power triangles are drawn following the standard of drawing inductive reactive power in the j direction and capacitive reactive power in the j direction. Two equations are obtained by applying the Pythagorean theorem to these power triangles: S 2 P 2 Q 2 L and S 2 P 2 Q 2 C. These equations can be applied to series, parallel, or series-parallel circuits. The net reactive power supplied by the source to an RLC circuit is the difference between the positive inductive reactive power and the negative capacitive reactive power: Q X Q L Q C, where Q X is the net reactive power, in VARS. 2. Solve for the Total Real Power Arithmetic addition can be used to find the total real power. P T P 1 P W. FIGURE 1.29 Calculating ac power: (a) circuit and (b) power triangle.

24 1.24 HANDBOOK OF ELECTRIC POWER CALCULATIONS FIGURE 1.30 Power triangles for (a) RC and (b) RL equivalent circuits. 3. Solve for the Total Reactive Power Q X Q L Q C VARS. Because the total reactive power is positive, the circuit is inductive (see Fig. 1.29b). 4. Solve for the Total Volt-Amperes S P T 2 Q 2 X (700) 2 (700) VA. Related Calculations. The principles used in this problem will also be applied to solve the following two problems. ANALYSIS OF POWER FACTOR AND REACTIVE FACTOR Calculate the power factor (pf) and the reactive factor (rf) for the circuit shown in Fig Review Power-Factor Analysis FIGURE 1.31 Calculating power and reactive factors of circuit.

25 BASIC NETWORK ANALYSIS 1.25 The power factor of an ac circuit is the numerical ratio between the true power P and the apparent power S. It can be seen by referring to the power triangles of Fig that this ratio is equal to the cosine of the power-factor angle. The power-factor angle is the same as the phase angle between the voltage across the circuit (or load) and the current through the circuit (or load). pf cos P/S. 2. Review Reactive-Factor Analysis The numerical ratio between the reactive power and the apparent power of a circuit (or load) is called the reactive factor. This ratio is equal to the sine of the power-factor angle (see Fig. 1.30). rf sin Q/S. 3. Calculate the Power and Reactive Factors Z 1 R jx L 100 j I 1 E/Z / A. I 1 (0.6 j0.6) A. I 2 E/X C / (0 j2) A. I T I 1 I 2 (0.6 j0.6) (0 j2) (0.6 j1.4) A A. S E L T (120)(1.523) VA. Power factor cos cos or 39.4 percent; rf sin sin or 92 percent. Related Calculations. Inductive loads have a lagging power factor; capacitive loads have a leading power factor. The value of the power factor is expressed either as a decimal or as a percentage. This value is always less than 1.0 or less than 100 percent. The majority of industrial loads, such as motors and air conditioners, are inductive (lagging power factor). Thus, power engineers often refer to capacitors or capacitive loads as sources of reactive power. POWER-FACTOR CORRECTION Calculate the value of the capacitor needed to obtain a circuit power factor of 100 percent (Fig. 1.32). 1. Calculate the Motor Current FIGURE 1.32 Power-factor correction: (a) given circuit and (b) adding a capacitor (C) in parallel to improve power factor.

26 1.26 HANDBOOK OF ELECTRIC POWER CALCULATIONS S P/cos 1200/ VA. Hence, the motor current I is: I S/ E (1714 VA) (120 V) A. The active component of this current is the component in phase with the voltage. This component, which results in true power consumption, is: I cos (14.29 A)(0.7) 10 A. Because the motor has a 70 percent power factor, the circuit must supply A to realize a useful current of 10 A. 2. Calculate the Value of C In order to obtain a circuit power factor of 100 percent, the inductive apparent power of the motor and the capacitive apparent power of the capacitor must be equal. Q L E I 1 cos 2 where 1 cos 2 reactive factor. Hence, Q L (120)(14.29) 1 (0.7) VARS (inductive). Q C must equal 1224 VARS for 100 percent power factor. X C V 2 C/Q C (120) 2 / (capacitive). Therefore, C 1/ X C 1/(377)(11.76) F. Related Calculations. The amount of current required by a load determines the sizes of the wire used in the windings of the generator or transformer and in the conductors connecting the motor to the generator or transformer. Because copper losses depend upon the square of the load current, a power company finds it more economical to supply 10 A at a power factor of 100 percent than to supply A at a power factor of 70 percent. A mathematical analysis of the currents in Fig. 1.32b follows: I C Q C / V C (1220 VARS)/(120 V) 10.2 A (0 j10.2) A. (for motor) cos ; therefore, I M (10 j10.2) A. Then I T I M I C (10 j10.2) (0 j10.2) 10 0 A (100 percent power factor). Typically, power factor correction capacitors are rated in kvars (kilo-vars) and may be installed in switched banks to provide a range of pf correction. MAXIMUM POWER TRANSFER IN AN AC CIRCUIT Calculate the load impedance in Fig for maximum power to the load. FIGURE 1.33 Finding value of Z L for maximum power transfer.

27 BASIC NETWORK ANALYSIS Statement of the Maximum Power Theorem The maximum power theorem, when applied to ac circuits, states that maximum power will be delivered to a load when the load impedance is the complex conjugate of the Thevenin impedance across its terminals. 2. Apply Thevenin s Theorem to the Circuit Z Th Z 1 Z 2 /(Z 1 Z 2 ) (10 53 )(8 90 )/[6 j8) j8] , or Z Th 10.6 j8 where R 10.6 and X L 8. Then, Z L must be j8, where R L 10.6 and X C 8. In order to find the maximum power delivered to the load, E Th must be found using the voltage-divider rule: E Th EZ 2 /(Z 1 Z 2 ) (9 0 )(8 90 )/[(6 j8) j8] V. P max /4R L ; therefore P max (12) 2 /(4)(10.6) 3.4 W. E 2 Th Related Calculations. The maximum power transfer theorem, when applied to dc circuits, states that a load will receive maximum power from a dc network when its total resistance is equal to the Thevenin resistance of the network as seen by the load. ANALYSIS OF A BALANCED WYE-WYE SYSTEM Calculate the currents in all lines of the balanced three-phase, four-wire, wye-connected system of Fig The system has the following parameters: V AN V, V BN V, V CN V, and Z A Z B Z C Calculate Currents I A V AN /Z A / A. I B V BN /Z B / A. I C V CN /Z C / A. I N I A I B I C ; hence, I N A. Related Calculations. The neutral current in a balanced wye system is always zero. Each load current lags or leads the voltage by the particular power factor of the load. This system, in which one terminal of each phase is connected to a common star point, is often called a star-connected system. ANALYSIS OF A BALANCED DELTA-DELTA SYSTEM Calculate the load currents and the line currents of the balanced delta-delta system of Fig The system has the following load parameters: V AC V, V BA V, V CB V, and Z AC Z BA Z CB 4 0.

Solve for the Line Currents Convert the load currents to rectangular notation: I AC j0, I BA j43.3, and I CB j43.3. Apply KCL at load nodes: I A I AC I BA (50 j0) ( 25 j43.3) A, I B I BA I CB ( 25 j43.3) ( 25 j43.3) A, I C I CB I AC ( 25 j43.3) (50 j0) A. Related Calculations. In comparing a wye-connected system with a delta-connected system, one can make the following observations: 1. When a load is wye-connected, each arm of the load is connected from a line to the neutral. The impedance Z is shown with a single subscript, such as Z A. 2. When a load is delta-connected, each arm of the load is connected from a line to line. The impedance Z is shown with a double subscript such as Z AC. 3. In a wye-connected system, the phase current of the source, the line current, and the phase current of the load are all equal. 4. In a delta-connected system, each line must carry components of current for two arms of the load. One current component moves toward the source, and the other FIGURE 1.36 Relationships between phase and line currents in a balanced delta-connected system.

30 1.30 HANDBOOK OF ELECTRIC POWER CALCULATIONS current component moves away from the source. The line current to a deltaconnected load is the phasor difference between the two load currents at the entering node. 5. The line current in a balanced delta load has a magnitude of 3 times the phase current in each arm of the load. The line current is 30 out of phase with the phase current (Fig. 1.36). 6. The line-line voltage in a balanced, wye-connected, three phase source has a magnitude of 3 times the line-neutral voltage. The line-line voltage is 30 out of phase with the line-neutral voltage. RESPONSE OF AN INTEGRATOR TO A RECTANGULAR PULSE A single 10-V pulse with a width of 100 s is applied to the RC integrator of Fig Calculate the voltage to which the capacitor charges. How long will it take the capacitor to discharge (neglect the resistance of the pulse source)? 1. Calculate the Voltage to Which the Capacitor Charges The rate at which a capacitor charges or discharges is determined by the time constant of the circuit. The time constant of a series RC circuit is the time interval that equals the product of R and C. The symbol for time constant is (Greek letter tau): RC, where R is in ohms, C is in farads, and is in seconds. The time constant of this circuit is: RC (100 k )(0.001 F) 100 s. Because the pulse width equals 200 s (2 time constants), the capacitor will charge to 86 percent of its full charge, or to a voltage of 8.6 V. The expression for RC charging is: v C (t) V F (1 e t/rc ), where V F is the final value. In this case the final value, V F 10 V, would be reached if the pulse had a width of 5 or more time constants. See the RC time constant charging table (Table 1.1). 2. Calculate the Discharge Time The capacitor discharges back through the source at the end of 200 s. The total discharge time for practical purposes is 5 time constants or (5)(100 s) 500 s. The expression for RC discharging is: v C (t) V t (e t/rc ), where V i is the initial value. In this case, the initial value before discharging is 8.6 V. Table 1.2 shows the RC time constant discharge characteristics. FIGURE 1.37 Pulse input to an RC integrator.
