1 Series and Parallel ac Circuits 15 Objectives Become familiar with the characteristics of series and parallel ac networks and be able to find current, voltage, and power levels for each element. Be able to find the total impedance of any series or parallel ac network and sketch the impedance and admittance diagram of each. Develop confidence in applying Kirchhoff s current and voltage law to any series or parallel configuration. Be able to apply the voltage divider rule or current divider rule to any ac network. Become adept at finding the frequency response of a series or parallel combination of elements INTODUCTION In this chapter, phasor algebra is used to develop a quick, direct method for solving both series and parallel ac circuits. The close relationship that exists between this method for solving for unknown quantities and the approach used for dc circuits will become apparent after a few simple examples are considered. Once this association is established, many of the rules (current divider rule, voltage divider rule, and so on) for dc circuits can be readily applied to ac circuits. SEIES ac CICUITS 15. IMPEDANCE AND THE PHASO DIAGAM esistive Elements In Chapter 14, we found, for the purely resistive circuit in Fig. 15.1, that y and i were in phase, and the magnitude I m V m or V m I m i = I m sin qt v = V m sin qt FIG esistive ac circuit.

Applying Ohm s law and using phasor algebra, we have Since i and y are in phase, the angle associated with i also must be 0. To satisfy this condition, u must equal 0. Substituting u 0, we find so that in the time domain, I V 0 u V l 0 u I V 0 0 V l 0 0 V 0 i 1 a V b sin vt We use the fact that u 0 in the following polar format to ensure the proper phase relationship between the voltage and current of a resistor: 100 V 0 A 0 i v 3 FIG Waveforms for Example i = 4 sin(qt 30 ) t Z 0 (15.1) The boldface roman quantity Z, having both magnitude and an associated angle, is referred to as the impedance of a resistive element. It is measured in ohms and is a measure of how much the element will impede the flow of charge through the network. The above format will prove to be a useful tool when the networks become more complex and phase relationships become less obvious. It is important to realize, however, that Z is not a phasor, even though the format 0 is very similar to the phasor notation for sinusoidal currents and voltages. The term phasor is reserved for quantities that vary with time, and and its associated angle of 0 are fixed, nonvarying quantities.

3 IMPEDANCE AND THE PHASO DIAGAM 639 It is often helpful in the analysis of networks to have a phasor diagram, which shows at a glance the magnitudes and phase relations among the various quantities within the network. For example, the phasor diagrams of the circuits considered in the two preceding examples would be as shown in Fig In both cases, it is immediately obvious that y and i are in phase since they both have the same phase angle. j Inductive eactance We learned in Chapter 13 that for the pure inductor in Fig. 15.7, the voltage leads the current by 90 and that the reactance of the coil X L is determined by vl. y V m sin vt phasor form V V 0 I A j 70.7 V (a) V i X L = ql v = V m sin qt FIG Inductive ac circuit V.88 A I 30 V By Ohm s law, Since y leads i by 90, i must have an angle of 90 associated with it. To satisfy this condition, u L must equal 90.

The boldface roman quantity Z L, having both magnitude and an associated angle, is referred to as the impedance of an inductive element. It is measured in ohms and is a measure of how much the inductive element controls or impedes the level of current through the network (always keep in mind that inductive elements are storage devices and do not dissipate like resistors). The above format, like that defined for the resistive element, will prove to be a useful tool in the analysis of ac networks. Again, be aware that Z L is not a phasor quantity, for the same reasons indicated for a resistive element.

It is measured in ohms and is a measure of how much the capacitive element controls or impedes the level of current through the network (always keep in mind that capacitive elements are storage devices and do not dissipate like resistors). The above format, like that defined for the resistive element, will prove a very useful tool in the analysis of ac networks.

7 SEIES CONFIGUATION 643 The result is an impedance diagram that can reflect the individual and total impedance levels of an ac network. We will find in the rest of this text that networks combining different types of elements will have total impedances that extend from 90 to 90. If the total impedance has an angle of 0, it is said to be resistive in nature. If it is closer to 90, it is inductive in nature. If it is closer to 90, it is capacitive in nature. Of course, for single-element networks, the angle associated with the impedance will be the same as that of the resistive or reactive element, as revealed by Eqs. (15.1) through (15.3). It is important to remember that impedance, like resistance or reactance, is not a phasor quantity representing a time-varying function with a particular phase shift. It is simply an operating tool that is extremely useful in determining the magnitude and angle of quantities in a sinusoidal ac network. Once the total impedance of a network is determined, its magnitude will define the resulting current level (through Ohm s law), whereas its angle will reveal whether the network is primarily inductive or capacitive or simply resistive. For any configuration (series, parallel, series-parallel, and so on), the angle associated with the total impedance is the angle by which the applied voltage leads the source current. For inductive networks, u T will be positive, whereas for capacitive networks, u T will be negative SEIES CONFIGUATION The overall properties of series ac circuits (Fig. 15.0) are the same as those for dc circuits. For instance, the total impedance of a system is the sum of the individual impedances: Z 1 Z Z 3 Z N (15.4) I Z 1 I I I Z Z 3 Z N = 4 X L = 8 FIG Series impedances. I FIG Example j EXAMPLE 15.7 Draw the impedance diagram for the circuit in Fig. 15.1, and find the total impedance. Solution: As indicated by Fig. 15., the input impedance can be found graphically from the impedance diagram by properly scaling the real and imaginary axes and finding the length of the resultant vector and angle u T. Or, by using vector algebra, we obtain Z 1 Z 0 X L 90 jx L 4 j X L = 8 v T = 4 FIG. 15. Impedance diagram for Example 15.7.

For the circuit in Fig. 15.3, if the inductive reactance were equal to the capacitive reactance, the input impedance would be purely resistive. We will have more to say about this particular condition in a later chapter. X C X L = = 6 θ T For the representative series ac configuration in Fig having two impedances, the current is the same through each element (as it was for the series dc circuits) and is determined by Ohm s law: Z 1 Z X C = 1 and I E (15.5) E FIG Impedance diagram for Example I V 1 Z 1 FIG Series ac circuit. Z V The voltage across each element can then be found by another application of Ohm s law: V 1 IZ 1 V IZ (15.6a) (15.6b) Kirchhoff s voltage law can then be applied in the same manner as it is employed for dc circuits. However, keep in mind that we are now dealing with the algebraic manipulation of quantities that have both magnitude and direction. E V 1 V 0 or E V 1 V (15.7) The power to the circuit can be determined by P EI cos u T (15.8) where u T is the phase angle between E and I. Now that a general approach has been introduced, the simplest of series configurations will be investigated in detail to further emphasize the similarities in the analysis of dc circuits. In many of the circuits to be considered, 3 j and 4 j are used quite frequently to ensure that the approach is as clear as possible and not lost in mathematical complexity. Of course, the problems at the end of the chapter will provide plenty of experience with random values.

We now examine how the response of a series circuit changes as the frequency changes. We assume ideal elements throughout the discussion so that the response of each element will be as shown in Fig Each response in Fig was discussed in detail in Chapter X C = fc X L = fl 0 f 0 f 0 f L C E j j XL 90 0 j X C 90 FIG eviewing the frequency response of the basic elements.

18 654 SEIES AND PAALLEL ac CICUITS When considering elements in series, remember that the total impedance is the sum of the individual elements and that the reactance of an inductor is in direct opposition to that of apacitor. For Fig , we are first aware that the resistance will remain fixed for the full range of frequencies: It will always be there, but, more importantly, its magnitude will not change. The inductor, however, will provide increasing levels of impedance as the frequency increases, while the capacitor will provide lower levels of impedance. We are also aware from Chapter 14 that the inductor has a short-circuit equivalence at f 0 Hz or very low frequencies, while the capacitor is nearly an open circuit for the same frequency range. For very high frequencies, the capacitor approaches the short-circuit equivalence, and the inductor approaches the open-circuit equivalence. In general, therefore, if we encounter a series -L-C circuit at very low frequencies, we can assume that the capacitor, with its very large impedance, will be the predominant factor. If the circuit is just an -L series circuit, the impedance may be determined primarily by the resistive element since the reactance of the inductor is so small. As the frequency increases, the reactance of the coil increases to the point where it totally outshadows the impedance of the resistor. For an -L-C combination, as the frequency increases, the reactance of the capacitor begins to approach a short-circuit equivalence, and the total impedance will be determined primarily by the inductive element. At very high frequencies, for an -C series circuit, the total impedance eventually approaches that of the resistor since the impedance of the capacitor is dropping off so quickly. In total, therefore, when encountering a series ac circuit of any combination of elements, always use the idealized response of each element to establish some feeling for how the circuit will respond as the frequency changes. Once you have a logical, overall sense for what the response will be, you can concentrate on working out the details. Series -C ac Circuit As an example of establishing the frequency response of ircuit, consider the series -C circuit in Fig As noted next to the source, the frequency range of interest is from 0 to 0 khz. A great deal of detail is provided for this particular combination so that obtaining the response of a series -L or -L-C combination will be quite straightforward. Since the resistance remains fixed at 5 k for the full frequency range, and the total impedance is the sum of the impedances, it is immediately obvious that the lowest possible impedance is 5 k. The highest imped- E = 10 V 0 f: 0 to 0 khz 5 k C 0.01 mf V C FIG Determining the frequency response of a series -C circuit.

19 FEQUENCY ESPONSE FO SEIES ac CICUITS 655 ance, however, is dependent on the capacitive element since its impedance at very low frequencies is extremely high. At very low frequencies we can conclude, without a single calculation, that the impedance is determined primarily by the impedance of the capacitor. At the highest frequencies, we can assume that the reactance of the capacitor has dropped to such low levels that the impedance of the combination will approach that of the resistance. The frequency at which the reactance of the capacitor drops to that of the resistor can be determined by setting the reactance of the capacitor equal to that of the resistor as follows: Solving for the frequency yields X C 1 pf 1 C f 1 1 pc (15.11) This significant point appears in the frequency plots in Fig Substituting values, we find that it occurs at f 1 1 pc khz p15 k10.01 mf We now know that for frequencies greater than f 1, > X C and that for frequencies less than f 1, X C >, as shown in Fig Now for the details. The total impedance is determined by the following equation: jx C and u T X C tan X 1 C (15.1) The magnitude and angle of the total impedance can now be found at any frequency of interest by simply substituting into Eq. (15.1). The presence of the capacitor suggests that we start from a low frequency (100 Hz) and then open the spacing until we reach the upper limit of interest (0 khz). 5 k X C 0 f = 5 k X C = 1 fc 5 k 0 f 1 f < X C > X C FIG The frequency response for the individual elements of a series -C circuit.

Our assumption that the circuit is primarily capacitive at low frequencies is therefore confirmed. f 1 khz and with and k 7.54 A noticeable drop in the magnitude has occurred, and the impedance angle has dropped almost 17 from the purely capacitive level.

In addition, note how the phase angle is approaching that associated with a pure resistive network (0 ). A plot of versus frequency in Fig completely supports our assumption based on the curves in Fig The plot of u T versus frequency in Fig further suggests that the total impedance made a transition from one of apacitive nature (u T 90 ) to one with resistive characteristics (u T 0 ).

A plot of V C versus frequency appears in Fig At low frequencies, X C >>, and V C is very close to E in magnitude.

A plot of u C versus frequency is provided in Fig At low frequencies, the phase angle between V C and E is very small since V C E. ecall that if two phasors are equal, they must have the same angle. As the applied frequency increases, the network becomes more resistive, and the phase angle between V C and E approaches 90.

A plot of V versus frequency approaches E volts from zero volts with an increase in frequency, but remember V E V C due to the vector relationship.

From our current analysis, it is obvious that any network connected across the capacitor will receive the greatest potential level at low frequencies and be effectively shorted out at very high frequencies. The analysis of a series -L circuit proceeds in much the same manner, except that X L and V L increases with frequency and the angle between I and E approaches 90 (voltage leading the current) rather than 0. If V L is plotted versus frequency, V L will approach E, as demonstrated in Example 15.1, and X L will eventually attain a level at which the opencircuit equivalent is appropriate.

Therefore, the network can be considered quite inductive at a frequency of 40 khz SUMMAY: SEIES ac CICUITS The following is a review of important conclusions that can be derived from the discussion and examples of the previous sections. The list is not all-inclusive, but it does emphasize some of the conclusions that should be carried forward in the future analysis of ac systems. For series ac circuits with reactive elements: 1. The total impedance will be frequency dependent.. The impedance of any one element can be greater than the total impedance of the network. 3. The inductive and capacitive reactances are always in direct opposition on an impedance diagram. 4. Depending on the frequency applied, the same circuit can be either predominantly inductive or predominantly capacitive. 5. At lower frequencies, the capacitive elements will usually have the most impact on the total impedance, while at high frequencies the inductive elements will usually have the most impact. 6. The magnitude of the voltage across any one element can be greater than the applied voltage. 7. The magnitude of the voltage across an element compared to the other elements of the circuit is directly related to the magnitude of its impedance; that is, the larger the impedance of an element, the larger the magnitude of the voltage across the element. 8. The voltages across oil or capacitor are always in direct opposition on a phasor diagram. 9. The current is always in phase with the voltage across the resistive elements, lags the voltage across all the inductive elements by 90, and leads the voltage across all the capacitive elements by The larger the resistive element of ircuit compared to the net reactive impedance, the closer the power factor is to unity. PAALLEL ac CICUITS 15.7 ADMITTANCE AND SUSCEPTANCE The discussion for parallel ac circuits is very similar to that for dc circuits. In dc circuits, conductance (G) was defined as being equal to 1/. The total conductance of a parallel circuit was then found by adding the conductance of each branch. The total resistance T is simply 1/G T. In ac circuits, we define admittance (Y) as being equal to 1/Z. The unit of measure for admittance as defined by the SI system is siemens,

28 664 SEIES AND PAALLEL ac CICUITS which has the symbol S. Admittance is a measure of how well an ac circuit will admit, or allow, current to flow in the circuit. The larger its value, therefore, the heavier the current flow for the same applied potential. The total admittance of ircuit can also be found by finding the sum of the parallel admittances. The total impedance of the circuit is then 1/Y T ; that is, for the network in Fig : Y T Y 1 Y Y 3 Y N (15.16) Y T Y 1 = 1 Z 1 Y = 1 Z Y 3 = 1 Z 3 Y N = 1 Z N FIG Parallel ac network. or, since Z 1/Y, Z 1 Z Z p 1 3 Z N (15.17) and Z 1 Z 3 p 1 Z N (15.18) Z 1 matching Eq. (6.3) for dc networks. For two impedances in parallel, 1 1 Z 1 1 Z If the manipulations used in Chapter 6 to find the total resistance of two parallel resistors are now applied, the following similar equation results: Z 1Z Z 1 Z (15.19) For N parallel equal impedances (Z 1 ), the total impedance is determined by Z 1 N (15.0) For three parallel impedances, Z 1 Z Z 3 Z 1 Z Z Z 3 Z 1 Z 3 (15.1)

29 ADMITTANCE AND SUSCEPTANCE 665 As pointed out in the introduction to this section, conductance is the reciprocal of resistance, and Y 1 1 G 0 Z 0 (15.) The reciprocal of reactance (1/X) is called susceptance and is a measure of how susceptible an element is to the passage of current through it. Susceptance is also measured in siemens and is represented by the capital letter B. For the inductor, Y L 1 Z L 1 X L 90 1 X L 90 (15.3) Defining B L 1 (siemens, S) (15.4) X L we have Y L B L 90 (15.5) Note that for inductance, an increase in frequency or inductance will result in a decrease in susceptance or, correspondingly, in admittance. For the capacitor, Y C 1 Z C 1 X C 90 1 X C 90 (15.6) Defining B C 1 (siemens, S) (15.7) X C we have Y C B C 90 (15.8) For the capacitor, therefore, an increase in frequency or capacitance will result in an increase in its susceptibility. For parallel ac circuits, the admittance diagram is used with the three admittances, represented as shown in Fig Note in Fig that the conductance (like resistance) is on the positive real axis, whereas inductive and capacitive susceptances are in direct opposition on the imaginary axis. For any configuration (series, parallel, series-parallel, and so on), the angle associated with the total admittance is the angle by which the source current leads the applied voltage. For inductive networks, u T is negative, whereas for capacitive networks, u T is positive. For parallel ac networks, the components of the configuration and the desired quantities determine whether to use an impedance or admittance approach. If the total impedance is requested, the most direct route may be to use impedance parameters. However, sometimes using admittance parameters can also be very efficient, as demonstrated in some of the examples in the rest of the text. In general, use the approach with which you are more comfortable. Naturally, if the format of the desired quantity is spelled out, it is usually best to work with those parameters. j B C 90 B L 90 FIG Admittance diagram. G 0

This division, if not performed in the polar form, requires that we multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, as follows: Y T 1 4 j j 6 a 1 14 j 6 b a 4 j 6 14 j 6 and Y T 4 5 S j 6 5 S To avoid this laborious task each time we want to find the reciprocal of omplex number in rectangular form, a format can be developed using the following complex number, which is symbolic of any impedance or admittance in the first or fourth quadrant: 1 1 a b a a 1 j b 1 b a 1 j b 1 a 1 j b 1 a 1 j b 1 a 1 j b 1 a 1 b 1 b 1 or a 1 (15.9) a 1 j b 1 a 1 b j b 1 1 a 1 b 1 Note that the denominator is simply the sum of the squares of each term. The sign is inverted between the real and imaginary parts. A few examples will develop some familiarity with the use of this equation.

40 676 SEIES AND PAALLEL ac CICUITS component has the most impact on the total impedance. For parallel elements, it is important to remember that the smallest parallel resistor or the smallest parallel reactance will have the most impact on the real or imaginary component, respectively, of the total impedance. In Fig , the frequency response has been included for each element of a parallel -L-C combination. At very low frequencies, the impedance of the coil will be less than that of the resistor or capacitor, resulting in an inductive network in which the reactance of the inductor will have the most impact on the total impedance. As the frequency increases, the impedance of the inductor will increase while the impedance of the capacitor will decrease. Depending on the components chosen, it is possible that the reactance of the capacitor will drop to a point where it will equal the impedance of the coil before either one reaches the resistance level. X L X C f f f E L C FIG Frequency response for parallel -L-C elements. Therefore, it is impossible to make too many broad statements about the effect of each element as the frequency increases. In general, however, for very low frequencies, we can assume that a parallel -L-C network will be inductive as described above, and at very high frequencies it will be capacitive since X C will drop to very low levels. In between, a point will result at which X L will equal X C and where X L or X C will equal. The frequencies at which these events occur, however, depend on the elements chosen and the frequency range of interest. In general, however, keep in mind that the smaller the resistance or reactance, the greater its impact on the total impedance of a parallel system.

In other words, at low frequencies the network will be primarily inductive, and the angle associated with the total impedance will be close to 90, as with a pure inductor. As the frequency increases, X L increases until it equals the impedance of the resistor (0 ). The frequency at which this situation occurs can be determined in the following manner: X L pf L and f (15.36) pl which for the network in Fig is f pl 0 p H 8.75 khz which falls within the frequency range of interest. For frequencies less than f, X L <, and for frequencies greater than f, X L >, as shown in Fig A general equation for the total impedance in vector form can be developed in the following manner: Z Z L Z Z L 1 0 1X L 90 j X L X L 90 X L tan 1 X L > and X L X L l 90 tan 1 X L >

Our assumption that the network is primarily inductive at low frequencies is therefore confirmed. Continuing: f 5 khz: f 10 khz: f 15 khz: f 0 khz: f 30 khz: f 40 khz: At f 40 khz, note how closely the magnitude of has approached the resistance level of 0 and how the associated angle with the total impedance is approaching zero degrees. The result is a network with terminal characteristics that are becoming more and more resistive as the frequency increases, which further confirms the earlier conclusions developed by the curves in Fig Plots of versus frequency in Fig and u T in Fig clearly reveal the transition from an inductive network to one that has resistive characteristics. Note that the transition frequency of 8.75 khz occurs right in the middle of the knee of the curves for both and u T. A review of Figs and reveals that a series -C and a parallel -L network will have an impedance level that approaches the resistance of the network at high frequencies. The capacitive circuit approaches the level from above, whereas the inductive network does the same from below. For the series -L circuit and the parallel -C network, the total impedance will begin at the resistance level and then display the characteristics of the reactive elements at high frequencies.

As the reactance of the coil increased with frequency, more of the source current chose the lower-resistance path of the resistor. The magnitude of the phase angle between I L and I is approaching 90 with an increase in frequency, as shown in Fig , leaving its initial value of zero degrees at f 0Hz far behind. At f 1 khz, the phasor diagram of the network appears as shown in Fig First note that the magnitude and the phase angle of I L are very close to those of I. Since the voltage across oil must lead the current through oil by 90, the voltage V s appears as shown. The voltage across a resistor is in phase with the current through the resistor, resulting in the direction of I shown in Fig Of course, at this frequency > X L, and the current I is relatively small in magnitude.

The magnitude of I L has dropped to very low levels, and the phase angle associated with I L is approaching 90. The network is now more resistive compared to its inductive characteristics at low frequencies. The analysis of a parallel -C or -L-C network would proceed in much the same manner, with the inductive impedance predominating at low frequencies and the capacitive reactance predominating at high frequencies SUMMAY: PAALLEL ac NETWOKS The following is a review of important conclusions that can be derived from the discussion and examples of the previous sections. The list is not all-inclusive, but it does emphasize some of the conclusions that should be carried forward in the future analysis of ac systems. For parallel ac networks with reactive elements: 1. The total admittance or impedance will be frequency dependent.. Depending on the frequency applied, the same network can be either predominantly inductive or predominantly capacitive. 3. The magnitude of the current through any one branch can be greater than the source current. 4. The inductive and capacitive susceptances are in direct opposition on an admittance diagram. 5. At lower frequencies, the inductive elements will usually have the most impact on the total impedance, while at high frequencies, the capacitive elements will usually have the most impact. 6. The impedance of any one element can be less than the total impedance (recall that for dc circuits, the total resistance must always be less than the smallest parallel resistor). 7. The magnitude of the current through an element, compared to the other elements of the network, is directly related to the magnitude of its impedance; that is, the smaller the impedance of an element, the larger the magnitude of the current through the element. 8. The current through oil is always in direct opposition with the current through apacitor on a phasor diagram. 9. The applied voltage is always in phase with the current through the resistive elements, leads the voltage across all the inductive elements by 90, and lags the current through all capacitive elements by The smaller the resistive element of a network compared to the net reactive susceptance, the closer the power factor is to unity EQUIVALENT CICUITS In a series ac circuit, the total impedance of two or more elements in series is often equivalent to an impedance that can be achieved with fewer elements of different values, the elements and their values being determined by the frequency applied. This is also true for parallel circuits. For the circuit in Fig (a), Z CZ L Z C Z L

The total impedance at the frequency applied is equivalent to apacitor with a reactance of 10, as shown in Fig (b). Always keep in mind that this equivalence is true only at the applied frequency. If the frequency changes, the reactance of each element changes, and the equivalent circuit changes perhaps from capacitive to inductive in the above example. Another interesting development appears if the impedance of a parallel circuit, such as the one in Fig (a), is found in rectangular form. In this case, E I X L (a) 4 3 Z LZ Z L Z j 1.44 which is the impedance of a series circuit with a resistor of 1.9 and an inductive reactance of 1.44, as shown in Fig (b). The current I will be the same in each circuit in Fig or Fig if the same input voltage E is applied. For a parallel circuit of one resistive element and one reactive element, the series circuit with the same input impedance will always be composed of one resistive and one reactive element. The impedance of each element of the series circuit will be different from that of the parallel circuit, but the reactive elements will always be of the same type; that is, an -L circuit and an -C parallel circuit will have an equivalent -L and -C series circuit, respectively. The same is true when converting from a series to a parallel circuit. In the discussion to follow, keep in mind that the term equivalent refers only to the fact that for the same applied potential, the same impedance and input current will result.

It is an operation that must be performed carefully, however, or you may obtain the incorrect result or damage the equipment. Whenever you are using the dual-trace capability of an oscilloscope, the most important thing to remember is that both channels of a dual-trace oscilloscope must be connected to the same ground. Measuring and u T For ac parallel networks restricted to resistive loads, the total impedance can be found in the same manner as described for dc circuits: Simply remove the source and place an ohmmeter across the network terminals. However, for parallel ac networks with reactive elements, the total impedance cannot be measured with an ohmmeter. An experimental procedure must be defined that permits determining the magnitude and the angle of the terminal impedance. The phase angle between the applied voltage and the resulting source current is one of the most important because (a) it is also the phase angle associated with the total impedance; (b) it provides an instant indication of whether a network is resistive or reactive; (c) it reveals whether a network is inductive or capacitive; and (d) it can be used to find the power delivered to the network. In Fig , a resistor has been added to the configuration between the source and the network to permit measuring the current and finding the phase angle between the applied voltage and the source current. At the frequency of interest, the applied voltage establishes a voltage across the sensing resistor which can be displayed by one channel of the dual-trace oscilloscope. In Fig , channel 1 is displaying the applied voltage, and channel the voltage across the sensing resistor. Sensitivities for each channel are chosen to establish the waveforms appearing on the screen in Fig As emphasized above, note that both channels have the same ground connection. In fact, the need for a common ground connection is the only reason that the sensing resistor

Since oscilloscopes display only voltages versus time, the peak value of the source current must be found using Ohm s law. Since the voltage across a resistor and the current through the resistor are in phase, the phase angle between the two voltages will be the same as that between the applied voltage and the resulting source current.

Note again that each channel shares the same ground connection. The resulting pattern appears in Fig with the chosen sensitivities.

If the phase relationship between e and y is desired, the oscilloscope cannot be connected as shown in Fig The grounds of each channel are internally connected in the oscilloscope, forcing point b to have the same potential as point a. The result would be a direct connection between points a and b that would short out the inductive element. If the inductive element is the predominant factor in controlling the level of the current, the current in the circuit could rise to dangerous levels and damage the oscilloscope or supply. The easiest way to find the phase relationship between e and y would be to simply interchange the positions of the resistor and the inductor and proceed as before. For the parallel network in Fig , the phase relationship between two of the branch currents, i and i L, can be determined using a sensing resistor, as shown in the figure. The value of the sensing resistor is chosen small enough in comparison to the value of the series inductive reactance to ensure that it will not affect the general response of the network. Channel 1 displays the voltage y, and channel the voltage y s. Since y is in phase with i, and y, is in phase with i L, the phase relationship between y and y s, will be the same as between i and i L.

55 APPLICATIONS APPLICATIONS Home Wiring An expanded view of house wiring is provided in Fig to permit a discussion of the entire system. The house panel has been included with the feed and the important grounding mechanism. In addition, a number of typical circuits found in the home have been included to provide a sense for the manner in which the total power is distributed. First note how the copper bars in the panel are laid out to provide both 10 V and 40 V. Between any one bar and ground is the single-phase 10 V supply. However, the bars have been arranged so that 40 V can be obtained between two vertical adjacent bars using a double-gang circuit breaker. When time permits, examine your own panel (but do not remove the cover), and note the dual circuit breaker arrangement for the 40 V supply. For appliances such as fixtures and heaters that have a metal casing, the ground wire is connected to the metal casing to provide a direct path to ground path for a shorting or errant current as described in Section 6.8. For outlets that do not have onductive casing, the ground lead is connected to a point on the outlet that distributes to all important points of the outlet. Note the series arrangement between the thermostat and the heater but the parallel arrangement between heaters on the same circuit.

56 69 SEIES AND PAALLEL ac CICUITS note the series connection of switches to lights in the upper-right corner but the parallel connection of lights and outlets. Due to high current demand, the air conditioner, heaters, and electric stove have 30 A breakers. Keep in mind that the total current does not equal the product of the two (or 60 A) since each breaker is in a line and the same current will flow through each breaker. In general, you now have a surface understanding of the general wiring in your home. You may not be a qualified, licensed electrician, but at least you should now be able to converse with some intelligence about the system. V i C mid = 47 F L low = 3.3 mh 8 Woofer L mid = 70 H 8 Midrange C high = 3.9 F 8 Tweeter FIG Crossover speaker system. Speaker Systems The best reproduction of sound is obtained using a different speaker for the low-, mid-, and high-frequency regions. Although the typical audio range for the human ear is from about 100 Hz to 0 khz, speakers are available from 0 Hz to 40 khz. For the low-frequency range usually extending from about 0 Hz to 300 Hz, a speaker referred to as a woofer is used. Of the three speakers, it is normally the largest. The mid-range speaker is typically smaller in size and covers the range from about 100 Hz to 5 khz. The tweeter, as it is normally called, is usually the smallest of the three speakers and typically covers the range from about khz to 5 khz. There is an overlap of frequencies to ensure that frequencies aren t lost in those regions where the response of one drops off and the other takes over. A great deal more about the range of each speaker and their db response (a term you may have heard when discussing speaker response) is covered in detail in Chapter 1. One popular method for hooking up the three speakers is the crossover configuration in Fig Note that it is nothing more than a parallel network with a speaker in each branch and full applied voltage across each branch. The added elements (inductors and capacitors) were carefully chosen to set the range of response for each speaker. Note that each speaker is labeled with an impedance level and associated frequency. This type of information is typical when purchasing a quality speaker. It immediately identifies the type of speaker and reveals at which frequency it will have its maximum response. A detailed analysis of the same network will be included in Section For now, however, it should prove interesting to determine the total impedance of each branch at specific frequencies to see if indeed the response of one will far outweigh the response of the other two. Since an amplifier with an output impedance of 8 is to be used, maximum transfer of power (see Section 18.5 for ac networks) to the speaker results when the impedance of the branch is equal to or very close to 8. Let us begin by examining the response of the frequencies to be carried primarily by the mid-range speaker since it represents the greatest portion of the human hearing range. Since the mid-range speaker branch is rated at 8 at 1.4 khz, let us test the effect of applying 1.4 khz to all branches of the crossover network. For the mid-range speaker: X C 1 pfc 1.4 p11.4 khz147 mf X L pfl p11.4 khz170 mh.78 8

Since the total reactance offered by the two series reactive elements is so small compared to the 8 resistance of the speaker, we can essentially replace the series combination of the coil and capacitor by a short circuit of 0. We are then left with a situation where the load impedance is an exact match with the output impedance of the amplifier, and maximum power will be delivered to the speaker. Because of the equal series impedances, each will capture half the applied voltage or 6 V. The power to the speaker is then V / (6 V) /8 4.5 W. At a frequency of 1.4 khz, we would expect the woofer and tweeter to have minimum impact on the generated sound. We will now test the validity of this statement by determining the impedance of each branch at 1.4 khz.

The resulting network is shown in Fig (b). The total load on the source of 1 V is 8 8 j j and the current is I E 1 V ma The power to the 8 speaker is then P woofer I (36 ma) (8 ) 1.05 W or about 1 W. Consequently, the sound generated by the mid-range speaker far outweighs the response of the woofer (as it should). For the tweeter in Fig , X C 1 pfc p11.4 khz13.9 mf and Z tweeter j X C 8 j which, as for the woofer, is a poor match with the output impedance of the amplifier. The current I E 1 V ma The power to the 8 speaker is then P tweeter I (397 ma) (8 ) 1.6 W or about 1.3 W. Consequently, the sound generated by the mid-range speaker far outweighs the response of the tweeter also. All in all, the mid-range speaker predominates at a frequency of 1.4 khz for the crossover network in Fig Let us now determine the impedance of the tweeter at 0 khz and the impact of the woofer at this frequency. For the tweeter: X C 1 pfc 1.04 p10 khz13.9 mf with Z tweeter 8 j Even though the magnitude of the impedance of the branch is not exactly 8, it is very close, and the speaker will receive a high level of power (actually 4.43 W).

Therefore, the speaker will receive a very low level of power (6.69 mw W). For all the calculations, note that the capacitive elements predominate at low frequencies, and the inductive elements at high frequencies. For the low frequencies, the reactance of the coil is quite small, permitting a full transfer of power to the speaker. For the high-frequency tweeter, the reactance of the capacitor is quite small, providing a direct path for power flow to the speaker. 0 0 Lamp voltage t Phase-Shift Power Control In Chapter 11, the internal structure of a light dimmer was examined and its basic operation described. We can now turn our attention to how the power flow to the bulb is controlled. If the dimmer were composed of simply resistive elements, all the voltages of the network would be in phase as shown in Fig (a). If we assume that 0 V are required to turn on the triac in Fig , the power will be distributed to the bulb for the period highlighted by the blue area of Fig (a). For this situation, the bulb is close to full brightness since the applied voltage is available to the bulb for almost the entire cycle. To reduce the power to the bulb (and therefore reduce its brightness), the controlling voltage would need a lower peak voltage as shown in Fig (b). In fact, the waveform in Fig (b) is such that the turn-on voltage is not reached until the peak value occurs. In this case, power is delivered to the bulb for only half the cycle, and the brightness of the bulb is reduced. The problem with using only resistive elements in a dimmer now becomes apparent: The bulb can be made no dimmer than the situation depicted by Fig (b). Any further reduction in the controlling voltage would reduce its peak value below the trigger level, and the bulb would never turn on. This dilemman be resolved by using a series combination of elements such as shown in Fig (a) from the dimmer in Fig Note that the controlling voltage is the voltage across the capacitor, while the full line voltage of 10 V rms, 170 V peak, is across the entire branch.

60 696 SEIES AND PAALLEL ac CICUITS setting the potentiometer (used as a rheostat) to 1/10 its maximum value, or 33 k. Combining the 33 k with the fixed resistance of 47 k results in a total resistance of 80 k and the equivalent network in Fig (b). At 60 Hz, the reactance of the capacitor is X C 1 pfc k p160 Hz16 mf Applying the voltage divider rule: V control Z CV s Z Z C k 90 1V s 0 80 kj 4.78 k 0.47 V s k V s k 8.14 Using a peak value of 170 V: V control 0.47(170 V) V producing the waveform in Fig (a). The result is a waveform with a phase shift of (lagging the applied line voltage) and a relatively high peak value. The high peak value results in a quick transition to the 0 V turn-on level, and power is distributed to the bulb for the major portion of the applied signal. ecall from the discussion in Chapter 11 that the response in the negative region is a replica of that achieved in the positive region. If we reduced the potentiometer resistance further, the phase angle would be reduced, and the bulb would burn brighter. The situation is now very similar to that described for the response in Fig (a). In other words, nothing has been gained thus far by using the capacitive element in the control network. However, let us now increase the potentiometer resistance to 00 k and note the effect on the controlling voltage. That is, T 00 k47 k47 k V(volts) V(volts) 170 V lamp 170 V applied V applied 80.4 V control V lamp θ V control θ (a) (b) FIG Light dimmer in Fig ; (a) rheostat set at 33 kω; (b) rheostat set at 00 kω.

The result, as depicted by Fig (b), is that the firing potential of 0 V is not reached until near the end of the positive region of the applied voltage. Power is delivered to the bulb for only a very short period of time, causing the bulb to be quite dim, significantly dimmer than obtained from the response in Fig (b). A conduction angle less than 90 is therefore possible due only to the phase shift introduced by the series -C combination. Thus, it is possible to construct a network of some significance with a rather simple pair of elements COMPUTE ANALYSIS PSpice Series -L-C Circuit The -L-C network in Fig is now analyzed using OrCAD Capture. Since the inductive and capacitive reactances cannot be entered onto the screen, the associated inductive and capacitive levels were first determined as follows: X L pfl 1 L X L pf mh p11 khz X C 1 pfc 1 C mf pfx C p11 khz3 Enter the values into the schematic as shown in Fig For the ac source, the sequence is Place part icon-souce-vsin-ok with VOFF set at 0 V, VAMPL set at 70.7 V (the peak value of the applied sinusoidal source in Fig ), and FEQ 1 khz. Double-click on the source symbol and the Property Editor appears, confirming the above choices and showing that DF 0 s, PHASE 0, and TD 0 s as set by the default levels. You are now ready to do an analysis of the circuit for the fixed frequency of 1 khz. The simulation process is initiated by first selecting the New Simulation Profile icon and inserting PSpice 15-1 as the Name followed by Create. The Simulation Settings dialog appears and since you are continuing to plot the results against time, select the Time Domain (Transient) option under Analysis type. Since the period of each cycle of the applied source is 1 ms, set the un to time at 5 ms so that five cycles appear. Leave the Start saving data after at 0 s even though there will be an oscillatory period for the reactive elements before the circuit settles down. Set the Maximum step size at 5 ms/ ms. Finally, select OK followed by the un PSpice key. The result is a blank screen with an x-axis extending from 0 s to 5 ms.

62 698 SEIES AND PAALLEL ac CICUITS FIG Using PSpice to analyze a series -L-C ac circuit. The first quantity of interest is the current through the circuit, so select Trace-Add-Trace followed by I() and OK. The resulting plot in Fig clearly shows that there is a period of storing and discharging of the reactive elements before a steady-state level is established. It would appear that after 3 ms, steady-state conditions have been essentially established. Select the Toggle cursor key, and left-click; ursor appears that can be moved along the axis near the maximum value around 1.4 ms.

The resulting peak value is about A which is a match with the longhand solution for Fig We will therefore assume that steady-state conditions have been established for the circuit after 4 ms. Now add the source voltage through Trace-Add Trace-V(Vs:)-OK to obtain the multiple plot at the bottom of Fig For the voltage across the coil, the sequence Plot-Add Plot to Window-Trace-Add Trace-V(L:1)-V(L:) results in the plot appearing at the top of Fig Take special note that the Trace Expression is V(L:1)V(L:) rather than just V(L:1) because V(L:1) would be the voltage from that point to ground which would include the voltage across the capacitor. In addition, the sign between the two comes from the Functions or Macros list at the right of the Add Traces dialog box. Finally, since we know that the waveforms are fairly steady after 3 ms, cut away the waveforms before 3 ms with Plot-Axis Settings-X axis-user Defined-3ms to 5ms-OK to obtain the two cycles of Fig Now you can clearly see that the peak value of the voltage across the coil is 100 V to match the analysis of Fig It is also clear that the applied voltage leads the input current by an angle that can be determined using the cursors. First activate the cursor option by selecting the cursor key (a red plot through the origin) in the second toolbar down from the menu bar. Then select V(Vs:) at the bottom left of the screen with a left click, and set it at that point where the applied voltage passes through the horizontal axis with a positive slope. The result is A1 4 ms at 4.43 mv 0 V. Then select I() at the bottom left of the screen with a right click, and place it at the point where the current waveform passes through the horizontal axis with a positive slope. The result is A 4.15 ms at ma 0.55 A FIG A plot of the steady-state response (t > 3 ms) for y L, y s, and i for the circuit in Fig

Now set up the ratio ms 1000 ms u 360 u 5.99 The phase angle by which the applied voltage leads the source is 5.99 which is very close to the theoretical solution of obtained in Fig Increasing the number of data points for the plot would have increased the accuracy level and brought the results closer to Multisim We now examine the response of a network versus frequency rather than time using the network in Fig which now appears on the schematic in Fig The ac current source appears as AC CUENT SOUCE under the SIGNAL CUENT SOUCES Family listing. Note that the current source was given an amplitude of 1 A to establish a magnitude match between the response of the voltage across the network and the impedance of the network. That is, 0 0 ` V s I s ` ` V s 1 A ` 0 V s 0 Before applying computer methods, we should develop a rough idea of what to expect so that we have something to which to compare the computer solution. At very high frequencies such as 1 MHz, the impedance of the inductive element will be about 5 k which when placed in parallel with the 0 will look like an open circuit. The result is that as the fre- FIG Obtaining an impedance plot for a parallel -L network using Multisim.
