Consider a series R-L circuit connected across voltage source V= Vm sin wt

Like some, I is the current flowing through the resistor and inductor due do this current-voltage drops across R and L      R VR = IR and  L VL = I X L

Total  V = VR + VL

V = IR + I X L  V = I [R + X L]

 

Take current as the reference phasor: 1) for resistor current is in phase with voltage 2) for Inductor voltage leads current or current lags voltage by 90 0.

P = Vm Sin wt    Im Sin wt – Ø

P = Vm Im (Sin wt)  Sin (wt – Ø)

P = (Cos Ø) -  Cos (2wt – Ø)

  • Consider a series R – C circuit in which resistor R is connected in series with capacitor C across an ac voltage so use V = VM Sin wt (voltage equation).
    • Assume current I am flowing through

          R and C voltage drop across.

    R and C  R VR = IR

    And C Vc = Ic

    V = lZl

    Current equation:

    from voltage triangle we can see that voltage is lagging current by Ø or current is leading voltage by Ø

     Q3) Explain series R-L-C circuit?A3) 

      Consider ac voltage source V = Vm sin wt connected across the combination of R L and C. when I flowing in the circuit voltage drops across each component as shown below.VR = IR, VL = I L, VC = I C
  • According to the values of Inductive and Capacitive Reactance, I e XL and XC decides the behaviour of R-L-C series circuit according to following conditions
  • XL> XC, XC> XL, XL = XC XL > XC: Since we have assumed XL> XC The voltage drops across XL> than XC VL> VC         A
  • Voltage triangle considering condition   A
  •   

     VL and VC are 180 0 out of phase.Therefore, cancel out each other    Resultant voltage triangle   

      

    Now  V = VR + VL + VC c phasor sum and VL and VC are directly in phase opposition and VLVC their resultant is  (VL - VC).

    Rectangular form Z = R + j (XL – XC)

    Polor form Z = l + Ø       B

    Where =

    And Ø = tan-1

     

     

    • Voltage equation: V = Vm Sin wt
    • Current equation

    i =    from B

    i = L-Ø           C

    as  VLVC  the circuit is mostly inductive and I lags behind V by angle Ø

    Since i = L-Ø

    i = Im Sin  (wt – Ø)    from c

     

     
  • XC XL :Since we have assured XC XL
  • the voltage drops across XC   than XL XC XL         (A) voltage triangle considering condition (A) 

       Resultant Voltage   

     

      

     

    Now  V = VR + VL + VC   phases sum and VL and VC are directly in phase opposition and VC  VL   their resultant is (VC – VL)

    From voltage

      Impedance  : Divide voltage  

     

     
    • Rectangular form: Z + R – j (XC – XL) – 4th qurd

    Polar form : Z =    L -

    Where

    And Ø = tan-1

    • Voltage equation: V = Vm Sin wt
    • Current equation : i =     from B
    • i = L+Ø      C

    as VC     the circuit is mostly capacitive and leads voltage by angle Ø

    since i =   L +  Ø

    Sin (wt – Ø)   from C

     
  • Power :
  •   

     

     
  • XL= XC  (resonance condition):
  • ɡȴ  XL= XC   then VL= VC  and they are 1800 out of phase with each other they will cancel out each other and their resultant will have zero value.Hence resultant V = VR and it will be in phase with I as shown in the below phasor diagram. 

     

     

     

    From the above resultant phasor diagram

    V =VR + IR

    Or V = I lZl

    Because lZl + R

    Thus Impedance Z is purely resistive for XL = XC and circuit current will be in phase with source voltage.

    Since  VR=V    Øis zero when  XL = XC power is unity

    i.e. pang = Vrms I rms  cos Ø = 1   cos o = 1

    maximum power will be transferred by the condition.  XL = XC

  • Apparent power: (S): - it is defined as product of rms value of voltage (v) and current (I), or it is the total power/maximum power

This frequency is called as resonant frequency and denoted by ( fr)Expression for resonant frequency (fr)We know that

     XL = - inductive reactance

     capacitive reactance

     

    At a particle or frequency f=fr,the inductive and capacitive reactance are exactly

    Therefore, XL = XC ----at f=fr

Sequence is R-Y-B. Three colours used to denote three faces are red, yellow and blue.The direction of rotation of 3Φ machines depends on phase sequence. If a sequence is changed i.e. R-B-Y then the direction of rotation will be reversed.Q6) Explain the types of loads?A6)

  • In a series circuit, adding more components to the circuit increases resistance, meaning the electric current decreases.
  • In a parallel circuit, having additional components does not increase resistance. Resistance can be reduced even further by having more pathways in a parallel circuit.
  •  Q10) Applications of star to delta and delta to star conversions?A10) It is often useful to transform delta network to star and star network to delta while solving an electrical network. The transformation can make the calculations simpler and easier. Some resistor networks cannot be simplified using the usual series and parallel combinations. This situation can often be handled by trying the Δ−Y transformation.
