This theorem applies to networks containing linear bilateral elements and a single voltage source or a single current source. This theorem may be stated as follows: If a voltage source in branch A of a network causes a current of 1 branch B, then shifting the voltage source (but not its impedance) of branch B […]

The statements of Kirchhoff’s laws are shown in Art. For DC networks except that instead of algebraic sum of currents and voltages, we take phasors or vector sums for AC networks. 1. KIRCHHOFF’S CURRENT LAW: According to this law, in any electrical network, the phasors sum of the currents meeting at a junction is zero. 

Following are few characteristics of Moving Coil Meter Movement. (1) Full-scale deflection current (Im), (2) Internal resistance of the coil (Rm), (3) Sensitivity (S). 1. FULL-SCALE DEFLECTION CURRENT (IM) It is the current needed to deflect the pointer all the way to the right to the last mark on the calibrated scale. Typical values of

All instruments, whether electrical or electronic, are calibrated at the time of manufacture against a measurement standard. 1. INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS These are defined by international agreement and are maintained at the international Bureau of Weights and Measurements in Paris. 2. PRIMARY STANDARDS These are maintained at national standards laboratories in each country. They are not

Electrical isolation by means of transformers is needed in switch-mode dc power supplies for three reasons: SAFETY: It is necessary for the low-voltage dc output to be isolated from the utility supply to avoid the shock hazard. DIFFERENT REFERENCE POTENTIALS: The dc supply may have to operate at a different potential, for example, the dc

There are several deleterious effects of high distortion in the current waveform and the poor power factor that results due to it. These are as follows: Power loss in utility equipment such as distribution and transmission lines, transformers, and generators increases, possibly to the point of overloading them. Harmonic currents can overload the shunt capacitors

Power electronic converters are switch-mode circuits that process power between two electrical systems using power semiconductor switches. The electrical systems can be either DC or AC. Therefore, there are four possible types of converters; namely DC/DC, DC/AC, AC/DC, and AC/AC. The four converter types are described below: DC/DC CONVERTER: is also known as ‘‘Switching Regulator’’.

The concept of the ideal switch is important when evaluating circuit topologies. Assumptions of zero-voltage drop, zero-leakage current, and instantaneous transitions make it easier to simulate and model the behavior of various electrical designs. Using the characteristics of an ideal switch, there are three classes of power switches: UNCONTROLLED SWITCH: The switch has no control

The aim of power electronics is to optimize the power efficiency, minimal size, minimal weight and meeting the requirements for user loads by modifying the voltages and currents. Fig.1 shows a block diagram of a power electronic system. Power processors, depending on the application, the output of the load may have the following forms DC:

Stability is a notion that describes whether the system will be able to follow the input command, that is, be useful in general. In a non-rigorous manner, a system is said to be unstable if its output is out of control. To investigate the effect of feedback on stability, from the below above. If GH
