Study Notes
Basic Electrical Engineering
- This document is lecture notes for a course on AC Circuits.
- The notes are based on the AICTE model curriculum 2018.
- The notes are effective from academic year 2018-19.
- The material is from Aryabhatta Knowledge University, Patna.
- The notes were prepared for Government Engineering College, Jamui.
AC Circuits: Single-Phase AC Circuits
-
AC generators use Faraday's electromagnetic induction law
-
When a current-carrying conductor cuts a magnetic field, an electromotive force (emf) is induced in the conductor.
-
A single rectangular loop of wire rotating in a magnetic field creates alternating emf.
-
The emf produced is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux.
-
The equation for induced emf (e) is e = NBAωsin(ωt)
-
Where: N = number of turns, B = maximum flux density, A = area of coil, ω = angular velocity, t = time
-
Alternating current varies sinusoidally.
-
The maximum value of current is denoted by Im.
Definitions
- Waveform: The graph of an alternating quantity against time.
- Cycle: One complete set of positive, negative, and zero values of an alternating quantity.
- Instantaneous value: The value of an alternating quantity at a specific instant in time.
- Amplitude/Peak value: The maximum value attained by an alternating quantity.
- Average value: The average of all instantaneous values over half a cycle.
- RMS value: The equivalent DC current that produces the same amount of heat as the alternating current over a given time.
AC Circuits: Additional Information
- Reactive power: Power drawn by reactive components of a circuit.
- Apparent power: Product of rms voltage and current.
- Peak factor: Ratio of peak value to rms value (Kf = 1.11 for sine wave).
- Form factor: Ratio of rms value to average value (Kf = 1.11 for sine wave).
- Phase difference: Angular displacement between two zero or maximum values of two alternating quantities of same frequency.
Derivation of average value and RMS value of sinusoidal AC signal
- Average value (Graphical method and Analytical method)
- RMS value (Graphical method and Analytical method)
AC Circuits: Purely Resistive Circuit
- In a purely resistive circuit, the current is in phase with the voltage.
- The instantaneous power is the product of voltage and current.
- Average power is the product of rms voltage and current.
- The average power consumed is a purely resistive circuit is equal to the product of voltage and current in root mean square values (VRMS * IRMS).
AC Circuits: Purely Inductive Circuit
- In a purely inductive circuit, the current lags behind the voltage by 90 degrees.
- The instantaneous power is the product of voltage and current.
- The average power consumed in a purely inductive circuit is zero.
AC Circuits: Purely Capacitive Circuit
- In a purely capacitive circuit, the current leads the voltage by 90 degrees,
- The average power consumed in a purely capacitive circuit is zero.
Series Resistance-Inductance (R-L) Circuit
- In an R-L circuit, the current lags the voltage by an angle φ.
- The instantaneous power is the product of voltage and current.
- The average power is proportional to Cos φ.
Series Resistance-Capacitance (R-C) Circuit
- In an R-C circuit, the current leads the voltage by an angle φ.
- The instantaneous power is the product of voltage and current.
- The average power varies depending on the current, and voltage values.
Series Resonance RLC Circuit
- Resonance occurs when the inductive and capacitive reactances are equal.
- Current is at its maximum.
- The impedance is equal to resistance R.
- Q factor = Voltage magnification
Parallel Resonance RLC Circuit
- Resonance occurs when the inductive and capacitive reactances are equal.
- Impedance is at maximum.
Comparison between Single and Three-Phase Circuits
- Three phase circuit has power delivered through three conductors.
- Single phase circuit has power delivered through one conductor
- Three phase power system has higher efficiency and is more economical for large industrial loads, and it is used in heavy duty loads
Generation of Three-Phase EMF
- Three coils are rotated in a magnetic field
- The coils are separated by 120 degrees.
- The induced emf in the coils has a 120-degree phase difference
