Study Notes
Alternating Current (AC)
- Alternating current (AC) is electric current that reverses direction periodically.
- Frequency is the number of cycles per second of alternating current.
- One hertz (Hz) is one cycle per second.
- Capacitance is the storage of electricity in a capacitor. The unit of measurement is farads (F) or microfarads (µF).
- Inductance is the opposition to current change. The unit is henries (H).
- A time varying current creates a voltage.
Induced Voltage
- The induced voltage (E) at different phase angles (θ) can be calculated when the maximum induced voltage (Emax) is known.
- For example, if Emax = 230V, at 0°, E = 230V; 45°, E = 163V; 90°, E = 0V; 180°, E = -230V.
Key AC Parameters
- Frequency (f):
- Symbol: f
- Unit of measurement: Hertz (Hz)
- Formula: (Not given in the provided text.)
- Period (T):
- Symbol: T
- Unit of measurement: Seconds (s)
- Formula: T = 1/f
Calculating Frequency
- Frequency (f) = (number of cycles)/(time in seconds)
- Example: 10 cycles in 0.6 seconds, f = 10 / 0.6 = 16.67 Hz
Sine Wave Properties
- Peak Voltage: Highest voltage in one direction.
- Peak-to-Peak Voltage: Voltage difference between positive and negative peaks.
- Average Value: (Not given in text.)
- Root Mean Square (RMS) Voltage: (Not given in text.)
Transformer Components
- Primary winding: The side connected to the input voltage.
- Secondary winding: The side connected to the load.
Transformer Types
- Isolation transformers.
- Potential transformers.
