Electrical current flowing along a wire creates a


magnetic field around the wire, as shown in Fig.
That magnetic field can be visualized by showing
lines of magnetic flux, which are represented with
the symbol φ.
The direction of that field that can be
determined using the “right hand rule”

Consider two coils having N1 and N2 number of turns placed near each other as
shown in Fig

Similarly, if we calculate the induced EMF in coil 1, due to change in current


in coil 2, we can find the induced EMF e1 in coil 1 as

Now, multiplying the expression for M as in (iii) and (iv) above,

26
Due to mutual inductance, the EMF induced in coil 1 due to
change in current in coil 2 and vice versa are expressed as Thus, equating the expression for ‘e’ ,the total EMFs as
EMF induced in coil 1 due to change in current in coil 2 is

Now let the total equivalent inductance of the single circuit coil 1 and coil 2 as When the coils are differentially connected,
they are connected as in be ‘Le’

The EMF induced in the whole circuit will, therefore, be

Dot convention is used to determine the sign of induced voltage

Note:
If we use dot convention, it will not be required to know the way
the coils have been actually wound.

Example a b e d c a, a b e g f c a, c d e b g f c, etc.
Branch:- A branch is a path that connects two nodes.
Mesh:- A mesh is a special type of loop, i.e., it does

R7 ), and Oriented Graph:- A graph whose branches are
b–g (through / ) oriented is
called a directed or oriented graph.

27
Subgraph:- A subgraph is a subset of the
branches and
nodes of a graph. The subgraph is said to be
proper if it
consists of strictly less than all the branches
and nodes of
the graph.

Path:- A path is a particular sub graph where only


two
branches are incident at every node except the
internal
nodes (i.e., starting and finishing nodes). At the
internal
nodes, only one branch is incident.

Links and Co-tree


If a graph for a network is known and a particular tree
is specified, the remaining branches are referred to as
the links. The collection of links is called a co-tree. So,
co-tree is the complement of a tree. These are shown
by dotted lines in Fig. (b).

28
Properties of a Tree
1. In a tree, there exists one and only one path
between any
pairs of nodes.

2. Every connected graph has at least one tree.

3. A tree contains all the nodes of the graph.

4. There is no closed path in a tree and hence, tree is


The branches of a co-tree may or may not be circuit less.
connected, whereas the branches of a tree are
always connected. 5. The rank of a tree is (n– 1).

1. Calculate the emf of a coil with turns 100 and flux rate 5 units.
a)20
b) -20
c) 500
d) -500

Answer: d

Explanation: The emf is the product of the turns of the coil and the flux rate. Thus e = -N dφ/dt, where the
negative sign indicates that the emf induced is opposing the flux. Thus e = -100 x 5 = -500 units.

2. The equivalent inductances of two coils 2H and 5H in series aiding flux with mutual inductance of 3H is
a) 10
b) 30
c) 1
d) 13

Answer: d

Explanation: The equivalent inductance of two coils in series is given by L = L1 + L2 + 2M, where L1 and L2
are the self inductances and M is the mutual inductance. Thus L = 2 + 5 + 2(3) = 13H.

MAERIALS
Assignment Questions and Answers

UNIT-I
1. Explain the Faradays laws?

Solution:
Consider an iron ring on which a coil is wound. Most rings are made like anchor rings in that
their cross selection is circular. Such a ring is called a toroid. Whenever a current is flowing
through the coil there will be magnetic flux produced and the path fallowed by the magnetic flux
is known as magnetic circuit.

Reluctance of magnetic circuit is defined as the ratio of magneto motive

FARADAYS LAWS OF ELECTRO MAGNETIC INDUCTION:


In 1831, Micheal Faraday formulated two laws on the bases of experiments. These laws are
called Faraday's laws of electromagnetic induction.

FIRST LAW:
First Law of Faraday's Electromagnetic Induction state that whenever a conductor are placed in a
varying magnetic field emf are induced which is called induced emf, if the conductor circuit are
closed current are also induced which is called induced current.
(OR)
Whenever a current carrying conductor is rotated in magnetic field it will induces an emf.
SECOND LAW:

131
Second Law of Faraday's Electromagnetic
c Induction state that the induced emf is equal to the
rate of change of flux linkages (flux linkages is the product of turns, n of the coil and the flux
associated with it).

Explanation:
Consider a magnet approaching towards a coil. Here we consider two instants of time T 1 and
time T2.
Flux linkage with the coil at time, T1= NΦ1Weber (wb)
Flux linkage with the coil at time, T2=NΦ2wb
Change in flux linkage = N (Φ2–Φ1)
Let this change in flux linkage be, Φ = Φ2–Φ1
So, the Change in flux linkage = NΦ
Now the rate of change of flux linkage = NΦ / t
Take derivative on right hand side we will get The rate of change of flux linkage = NdΦ/dt
But according to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, the rate of change of flux linkage is
equal to induced emf.
Therefore,

According to lenz’s law,


Where Φ in weber, Φ = B * A
B = magnetic field strength
A = area of the coil
From this, Faraday concluded that whenever there is relative motion between conductor and a
magnetic field, the flux linkage with a coil changes and this change in flux induces a voltage
across a coil.
2. Explain the concept of self and mutual inductance?

Solution:
Self Induction:
Inductance is the property of the circuit element which will oppose any change of current
through it. By Faraday’s laws of electromagnetic induction, it fallows that whenever there is
change of flux linking with a coil with time, and then there will be an induced emf in the coil.
The induced emf is proportional to the rate of change flux linkages of the coil.

Where N is the number of turns in the coil and Φ is the flux in weber in the coil.

132
The negative sign indicates that the direction of induced emf is such that it opposes the every
cause which is producing it, also known as LENZ’S law. Since the flux in the coil is directly
proportional to current flowing in it, the emf induced is proportional to the rate of change of
current.
If the current I and flux linkages refer to the same physical system, than the parameter L is
called self inductance. It is measured in HENRYS.
Mutual Inductance:
Let us consider that there are two coils which are placed on the same magnetic core such that the
flux produced by current flowing through one coil completely links with the other coils also. Let
the coil1 is connected to AC supply and coil2 is open circuit.

A current flowing in the first coil produces a flux as shown in fig. The direction of time varying
flux is given by right hand thumb rule. The flux produced by current not only links with the coil1
but also links with coil2. The emf induced in coil1 is called self induced emf.

The proportionality constant M21 between induced emf in the second coil and rate of change of
current in the first coil is called mutual inductance. Any two such coils are said to be
magnetically coupled.
The unit of mutual inductance is HENRY. The mutual inductance between two coils is said to be
1 Henry when a change of current of 1 Amp/Sec in one coil produces a mutual induced emf of 1
volt in the other coil.

Self induced emf in coil1,

Mutual induced emf in the coil2,

Let us assume that second coil also carries a current of i2 as shown in fig, which in turn produces
a self induced emf in coil2 and a mutual induced emf in coil1.
Self induced emf in coil2

133
Mutual induced emf in the coil1=

In practice all the flux produced by current in one coil may not completely link with the other
coil. Depending on the position and orientation of the two coils, only a fraction of the flux may
be linking with the other coil. Then the two circuits are said to be loosely coupled and if all the
flux is linking with the other coil, then they are said to tightly coupled.

3. Explain the following terms?


a) What is coefficient of coupling? Derive the formula for K?
b) Discuss dot notation?

Solution:
Coefficient of Coupling:
It is the factor which indicates the degree of coupling between the coupled coils given by

Expressing (1) in terms of self and mutual inductances,

134
If M21 = M12 = M then we get,

This will be equal to 1 if coils are coupled tightly

Coefficient of coupling is also defined as the ratio of mutual flux to total flux. It is always less
than one (K<=1) (this is the principle used in transformer).
Dot Notation
The Polarity or Dot Notation for a device with mutual inductance designates the relative
instantaneous current directions of such device's winding leads.

The physical criteria of this notation is to preserve a proper magnetic flow circuit direction inside
the material. Keeping all current entering a transformer or coupled inductances, in phase, through
dotted leads or ports will keep the magnetic flow circulating without canceling each other, and
the device will work under their rated efficiency.

Entering current on different dotted ports -one in a dotted port and the other with an un-dotted
port- will cause the magnetic flow components to subtract each other, making the device
working inefficiently. This criteria holds for devices with several coils, in order to have each of
them aggregating in an additive way by entering dotted ports.

Leads of primary and secondary windings are said to be of the same polarity when instantaneous
current entering the primary winding lead results in instantaneous current leaving the secondary
winding lead as though the two leads were a continuous circuit. In the case of two windings
wound around the same core in parallel, for example, the polarity will be the same on the same
ends: A sudden (instantaneous) current in the first coil will induce a voltage opposing the sudden
increase (Lenz's law) in the first and also in the second coil, because the inductive magnetic field
produced by the current in the first coil traverses the two coils in the same manner. The second
coil will, therefore, show an induced current opposite in direction to the inducing current in the
first coil. Both leads behave like a continuous circuit, one current entering into the first lead and
another current leaving the second lead.

Referring to the circuit diagrams below:[dubious – discuss] The circuit polarity signs '+' and '-'
indicate the relative polarities of the induced voltages in both coils, i.e. how an instantaneous
(sudden) magnetic field traversing the primary and secondary coils induces a voltage in both
coils.

135
The instantaneous polarities of the voltages across each inductor with respect to the dotted
terminals are the same.
The circuit arrows indicate example applied and resultant relative current directions. The '+' and
'-' polarities in the diagram are not the voltages driving the currents.
The instantaneous directions of the current entering the primary inductor at its dotted end and the
current leaving of the secondary inductor at its dotted end are the same.
Subtractive polarity transformer designs are shown in the upper circuit diagrams. Additive
polarity transformer designs are shown in the lower circuit diagrams.

4. Discuss series and parallel magnetic circuits?

Solution:
Composite Magnetic Circuits
Consider a circular ring made from different materials of lengths l1, l2 and l3, cross-sectional
areas a1, a2 and a3 and relative permeability r1, r2 andr3 respectively with a cut of
length lg known as air-gap. The total reluctance is the arithmetic sum of individual reluctances as
they are joined in series.

136
Or Total ampere-turns required

= Sum of ampere-turns required for individual parts of the magnetic circuit.


Parallel Magnetic Circuits
In series circuits, all parts of the magnetic circuit carry same flux and total ampere-turns required
to create a given flux is the arithmetic sum of the ampere-turns required for individual parts of
the circuit.
But if the various paths of the magnetic circuit are in parallel, as shown in Fig. 4 the ampere-
turns required for the combination is equal to the ampere-turns required to create the given flux
in one path.
For example, for the circuit shown in Fig. 4 paths ABCD and AFED are in parallel, so ampere-
turns required creating flux in path ABCD is equal to ampere-turns required to create
flux in path AFED and also equal to the ampere-turns required for both of the paths.
Hence total ampere-turns required for magnetic circuit shown in Fig. 4.
= AT for path DA + AT for path ABCD
= AT for path DA + AT for path AFED

6. Briefly discuss the concept of duality?

Solution:
Duality and Dual Networks
Duals: Two circuits are said to be dual of each other, if the mesh equations characterize one of
them has the same mathematical form as the nodal equations that characterize the other.
Principle of Duality: Identical behavior patterns observed between voltages and currents
between two independent circuits illustrate the principle of duality.
Ex: 1) series R-L-C circuit:

Parallel G-C-Lcircuit:

139
From that (1) and (2) are mathematically identical, so they are duals. Some dual elements:
Voltage(V)Current(I)
Resistor(R)Conductance(G)
Inductor(I)Capacitor(C)
KVLKCL
V(t)I(t)
Meshnodal
Seriesparallel
VsinwtIcoswt
Opencircuitshortcircuit
Thevenin Norton
Linktwig
Cutsettieset
Treeco-tree
Switchinseries(gettingclosed)switchinginparallel(gettingopened)etc.

Procedure to obtain a Dual Network:


These rules illustrated below are only for planar or flat networks which do not have any of their
branches crossing other branches1.
Place a dot in every loop of the network whose dual is obtained and a dot outside the
network. Each dot is numbered according to the loop in which it is placed. The outside
dot is called the reference node and give number as 0.
Connect two dots by a line through each branch. The dots are the nodes of the dual
network between two nodes; the element to be connected is the dual of the element
crossed by the line.
When sources are included, then the line joining the dots should intersect the sources
also; between these two nodes the dual of the source is included.
The polarity of the source is decided by the fallowing rule. A voltage or current source
which drives a current in clockwise in ith loop, then place a positive polarity at ith the
dual network. Negative if it is opposite.
Ex:

Inverse Networks: If two impedances Za, Zb which are duals of each other are expressed in the
form of Za × Zb = K2, where K is a positive number of independent of frequency, then the two
140
impedances are said to be inverse or reciprocal. The inversion is said to be about K.

7. Wright about Loop and Nodal methods of analysis of networks with


dependent and independent voltage and current sources?
Solution:

Choice of independent branch currents:

To determine the number of independent branch currents, consider the tree of a given graph
which is connected sub graph with no closed path. The addition of each link branch to the tree
gives rise to different closed path. Hence the opening or removal of the links destroys all
closed paths, which results in forcing all branch currents to zero. Thus, if we set all link branch
currents to zero, the currents in all branches of the network automatically to zero. We can
conclude that tree branch currents are dependent on link branch currents and can be expressed
uniquely in terms of link branch currents. This shows for a given network with b branches and
n nodes, the number of independent branch currents equal to number of links is (b- (n-1)) = (b-
n+1).
The dependent branch currents or tree branch currents can be expressed in a unique way in
terms of link branch currents using the row of the tie-matrix [C].

141
Hence to solve a given network, we have to determine the independent branch currents, in
terms of which other variables can be determined. To determine these independent branch
currents we formulate equations by equations by applying KVL to each of the loops, and these
equations are called as loop equations and the variables in which equations are formulated are
called the loop currents. This method of analysis is called as loop method of analysis and is
based on KVL.
To analyze this see the fallowing example, if the branch currents are i1,i2,––––––,i8 then they
can be expressed as link branch currents i1,i2,i3,i4 as

[i] = [C] [i1]

Where [i] = column of branch currents


[i1] = column of link branch currents
[C] = basic tie-set matrix
The tree branch currents for above example are can express as below,

i5= i1 - i4 i6= —i1 +i2 i7=—i2+i3


i8= i3 + i4

The loop equations are formulated using above equations.

Another way to find loop currents:

Another way commonly employed in formulating the loop equations using loop currents as the
independent variables is illustrated below. We can use the window method to arrive at the
142
number of independent loop currents if it is planar network. This method is illustrated and
loop equations are formulated using KVL in terms of loop current variables.
Consider the network shown in fig. the choice of loop currents in loop equations formulated
below. Let I1, I2 and I3 are the loop currents in the loops 1, 2 and 3 flowing in the elements
forming that loop. The loop equations are obtained by applying KVL for each of the loop in
the network.

Loop1:
- Ea + I1 Za + Eb + (I1 -I2) Zb = 0 ⇨I1(Za +Zb) - I2 Zb = (Ea -Eb) – (1)
Loop2: (I2 -I1) Zb - Eb + I2 Zc + (I2 -I3) Zd = Eb ⇨-I1 Zb + I2 (Zb+ Zc+Zd) - I3 Zd =
Eb -- (2) Loop3: (I3 -I2) Zd +I3 Ze+ E = 0 ⇨-I2 Zd+I3 (Ze +Zd) = E ---- (3)
The equations 1, 2, 3 are the loop equations which are to be solved for the loop currents.
Choice of independent voltages:
In analyzing the network on voltage basis, we have to determine the number of independent
branch voltages. We can use graph theory concepts to determine independent voltages.
Consider the tree of a network graph which is connected sub graph with no closed paths. Since
it is connected sub graph, there exists a unique path between every pair of nodes only, through
tree branches removal of tree branch voltages results in the equal potential of all nodes. Hence
of all the tree branch voltages are set equal to zero, where in all the branch voltages of the
Network will automatically become zero. All the link branch voltages can beexpressed in a
unique
Hence for any given network within n nodes and b branches, there will be (n-1) tree branches
and hence there will be (n-1) independent branch voltages. The remaining branches voltages
can be expressed in terms of these independent branch voltages. To determine these
independent branch voltages, we formulate the (n-1) equations by applying KCL to each of the
nodes and these equations are nodal equations. This method of analysis is called nodal method
of analysis and is based on KCL.
Toillustrate,weconsiderthebelowexample.Ifthebranchvoltagesarer1, r2,––––––,r8then
theycanbeexpressedintermsoftreebranchvoltages[r5,r6,r7,r8]as

[v] = [B] [rb]

143
Where [v] = column branch voltages; [rb] = column of tree branch voltages;

[B] = basic cut set matrix

From that graph we can get,

The link branch voltages are expressed in a unique way as


r1= r5 + r6 r2= —r6 + r7 r3= —r7 + r8
r4= —r5 + r8

The nodal equations are formulated using columns of above equations.

8. Wright short notes on terms related to network topology?

Solution:
Network Topology:
An electric circuit is an interconnection of active and passive elements. Network also a same
thing but not a closed path, also a complex circuit which has large number of elements
preferred.
For analyzing a network, we need a systematic procedure for formulating the network
equilibrium equations and solving these equations to determine the current through and
voltage across each element of a network. For that purpose we are using KCL and KVL.

144
Here the problem is to determine the number of independent loop currents or node pair
voltages which are to be determined for a given network from the network equations. For that
purpose we are using a systematic procedure from the geometry of a network known as
network topology.
Topology: Topology is a branch of geometry applicable to electrical circuits where even by
bending, twisting, swapping, stretching and also circuit make up and down will not disturb its
circuit property known as topology.
Ex:

Graph:
Graph is a skeleton representation of a circuit or network, where every element is suppressed
by its nature and represented as a simple straight line.
➢ Ideal voltage sources are short circuits.
➢ Ideal current sources are open circuits.
➢ In graph theory nodes are numbered like 1, 2, 3, 4, -----
➢ Branches named like a, b, c, d, ------
➢ In graph theory, .i.e. li = b- (n-1)

Where li= independent loops, n= nodes, b= branch

Ex:

Node or Vertex: It is the junction of two or more elements in a network. Each node or

145
junction in a network is called a vertex in a graph.
Path (P):Path is a traversed from one node to another node with crossing the same node twice.

Ex:noofpossiblepathsfrom1to3 5
P1 1 35

P2 1 23

P3 1 43

P4 1 2 4 3

P5 1 4 2 3

m1 1 2 4 1

m2 1 3 2 1
m3 2 3 4 2

Individual loop (li) = 3 + 4 =7


nodes (n) = 4 branches (b) = 6
mesh(m)=3
Tree: A tree is a sub graph which connects all the nodes without forming closed loops.
➢ Any tree of a particular graph will have only (n-1) edges.
➢ A tree with ‘n’ nodes has a rank of (n-1)
nn–2 , n > 2 complete graph
➢ No of trees {
|[Ar] [Ar]|t ‹ any graph
Where [Ar] reduced incidence matrix.

Twig: The branch of tree specifically called as twig and also indicated by “thick line”. Any
tree will have (n-1) twigs.

Co Tree: The set of branches other than tree branches together form a co tree.

Link: The branches of co tree are called as links, indicated by dotted lines. Any co tree of a
146
particular graph will have only b – (n-1) links.

EX:

From that, graph = tree + co tree

Branches = twigs + links b = (n-1) + b-(n-1)


Ex: the number of possible trees for the graph below and also draw thetrees?

No of trees, nn–2 = 42 =16

UNIT-II
1. Explain star and delta connections of three phase system?

Solution:
In three phase circuit, connections can be given in two types:
i) Star connection
ii) Delta connection

Star Connection:
In star connection, there is four wire, three wires are phase wire and fourth is neutral which is
taken from the star point. Star connection is preferred for long distance power
transmission because it is having the neutral point. In this we need to come to the concept of
balanced and unbalanced current in power system.

When equal current will flow through all the three phases, then it is called as balanced current.
And when the current will not be equal in any of the phase, then it is unbalanced current. In this
case, during balanced condition there will be no current flowing through the neutral line and
hence there is no use of the neutral terminal. But when there will be unbalanced current flowing

147
in the three phase circuit, neutral is having a vital role. It will take the unbalanced current
through to the ground and protect the transformer. Unbalanced current affects transformer and it
may also cause damage to the transformer and for this star connection is preferred for long
distance transmission. The star connection is shown below-

In star connection, the line voltage is √3 times of phase voltage. Line voltage is
the voltage between two phases in three phase circuit and phase voltage is the voltage between
one phase to the neutral line. And the current is same for both line and phase. It is shown as
expression below
Delta Connection:
In delta connection, there is three wires alone and no neutral terminal is taken. Normally delta
connection is preferred for short distance due to the problem of unbalanced current in the circuit.
The figure is shown below for delta connection.

In the load station, ground can be used as neutral path if required. In delta connection, the line
voltage is same with that of phase voltage. And the line current is √3 times of phase current. It is
shown as expression below,

Three-phase voltages are often produced with a three-phase ac generator (or alternator) whose
cross-sectional view is shown in Fig. The generator basically consists of a rotating magnet
(called the rotor) surrounded by a stationary winding (called the stator). Three separate windings
or coils with terminals a-a’, b-b’, and c-c’are physically placed 120◦ apart around the stator.
Terminals a and a’, for example, stand for one of the ends of coils going into and the other end
coming out of the page. As the rotor rotates, its magnetic field “cuts” the flux from the three coils
and induces voltages in the coils. Because the coils are placed 120◦ apart, the induced voltages in
the coils are equal in magnitude but out of phase by 120◦ (Fig. 12.5). Since each coil can be
regarded as a single-phase generator by itself, the three-phase generator can supply power to
both single-phase and three-phase loads.
148
A typical three-phase system consists of three voltage sources connected to loads by three or four
wires (or transmission lines). (Three phase current sources are very scarce.) A three-phase
system is equivalent to three single-phase circuits. The voltage sources can be either wye-
connected as shown in Fig. (a) or delta-connected as in Fig. (b).
Let us consider the wye-connected voltages in Fig. (a) for now.

The voltages Van, Vbn, and Vcn are respectively between lines a, b, and c, and the neutral line n.
These voltages are called phase voltages. If the voltage sources have the same amplitude and
frequency ω and are out of phase with each other by 120◦, the voltages are said to be balanced.
This implies that
Van + Vbn + Vcn = 0
|Van| = |Vbn| = |Vcn|
Thus, Balanced phase voltages are equal in magnitude and are out of phase with each other by
120◦. Since the three-phase voltages are 120◦ out of phase with each other, there are two
possible combinations. One possibility is shown in Fig. (a) and expressed mathematically as

Van=Vp0◦
Vbn=Vp −120◦
Vcn=Vp−240◦ =Vp+120◦
where Vp is the effective or rms value. This is known as the abc sequence or positive sequence.
In this phase sequence, Van leads Vbn, which in turn leads Vcn. This sequence is produced when
149
the rotor in Fig. rotates counterclockwise. The other possibility is shown in Fig. (b)and is given
by

The phase sequence is the time order in which the voltages pass through their respective
maximum values.

This is called the acb sequence or negative sequence. For this phase sequence, Van leads Vcn,
which in turn leads Vbn. The acb sequence is produced when the rotor in Fig. rotates in the
clockwise direction.
Like the generator connections, a three-phase load can be either wye-connected or delta-
connected, depending on the end application. Fig. (a) shows a wye-connected load, and Fig. (b)
shows a delta-connected load. The neutral line in Fig.(a) may or may not be there, depending on
whether the system is four- or three-wire. A wye- or delta-connected load is said to be
unbalanced if the phase impedances are not equal in magnitude or phase.

Two possible three phase load configurations:


(a) a Y-connected load,
(b) a Delta-connected load
150
A balanced load is one in which the phase impedances are equal in magnitude and in phase. For
a balanced wye-connected load,
Z1= Z2 = Z3= ZY
Where ZY is the load impedance per phase. For a balanced delta-connected load,
Za = Zb = Zc = Z
where Z is the load impedance per phase in this case. We recall from Eq. that
Z= 3ZY or ZY= (1/3)Z
So we know that a wye-connected load can be transformed into a delta connected load, or vice
versa, using Eq. Since both the three-phase source and the three-phase load can be either wye- or
delta-connected, we have four possible connections: Y-Y connection (i.e., Y-connected source
with a Y-connected load).
• Y-connection.
• - connection.
•-Y connection.
It is appropriate to mention here that a balanced delta-connected load is more common than a
balanced wye-connected load. This is due to the ease with which loads may be added or removed
from each phase of a delta-connected load. This is very difficult with a wye-connected load
because the neutral may not be accessible. On the other hand, delta connected sources are not
common in practice because of the circulating current that will result in the delta-mesh if the
three-phase voltages are slightly unbalanced.
2. Deriving relation between line and phase voltages and currents in a star connection
and expression for power- (40 min)

Solution:

To derive the relations between line and phase currents and voltages of a star connected system,
we have first to draw a balanced star connected system.

151
Suppose due to load impedance the current lags the applied voltage in each phase of the system
by an angle ϕ. As we have considered that the system is perfectly balanced, the magnitude of
current and voltage of each phase is the same. Let us say, the magnitude of the voltage across the
red phase i.e. magnitude of the voltage between neutral point (N) and red phase terminal (R) is
VR.
Similarly, the magnitude of the voltage across yellow phase is VY and the magnitude of the
voltage across blue phase is VB. In the balanced star system, magnitude of phase voltage in each
phase is Vph.

∴ VR = VY = VB = Vph
We know in the star connection, line current is same as phase current. The magnitude of
this current is same in all three phases and say it is IL.

∴ IR = IY = IB = IL, Where, IR is line current of R phase, IY is line current of Y phase and IB is line
current of B phase. Again, phase current, Iph of each phase is same as line current IL in star
connected system.

∴ IR = IY = IB = IL = Iph.

Now, let us say, the voltage across R and Y terminal of the star connected circuit is VRY.
The voltage across Y and B terminal of the star connected circuit is VYB The voltage across B
and R terminal of the star connected circuit is VBR.

From the diagram, it is found that

VRY = VR + (− VY)
152
Similarly, VYB = VY + (− VB)

And, VBR = VB + (− VR)

Now, as angle between VR and VY is 120o(electrical),


the angle between VR and – VY is 180o – 120o = 60o(electrical).

Thus, for the star-connected system line voltage = √3 × phase voltage.


Line current = Phase current

As, the angle between voltage and current per phase is φ, the electric power per phase is

So the total power of three phase system is

3. Deriving relation between line and phase voltages and currents in delta or mesh
connection?

Solution:

In Delta (Δ) or Mesh connection, the finished terminal of one winding is connected to start
terminal of the other phase and so on which gives a closed circuit. The three line conductors are
run from the three junctions of the mesh called Line Conductors. The connection in Delta form is
shown in the figure below.

153
To obtain the Delta connections, a2 is connected with b1, b2 is connected with c1 and c2 is
connected with a1 as shown in the above figure. The three conductors R, Y and B are running
from the three junctions known as Line Conductors.

The current flowing through each phase is called Phase Current (Iph), and the current flowing
through each line conductor is called Line Current (IL).

The voltage across each phase is called Phase Voltage (Eph), and the voltage across two line
conductors is called Line Voltage (EL).

Relation Between Phase Voltage and Line Voltage in Delta Connection

To understand the relationship between the phase voltage and line voltage in the Delta consider
the figure A shown below.

t is clear from the figure that the voltage across terminals 1 and 2 is the same as across the
terminals R and Y. Therefore,

154
Similarly,

Delta Connection in a 3 Phase System

In Delta (Δ) or Mesh connection, the finished terminal of one winding is connected to start
terminal of the other phase and so on which gives a closed circuit. The three line conductors are
run from the three junctions of the mesh called Line Conductors. The connection in Delta form is
shown in the figure below.

To obtain the Delta connections, a2 is connected with b1, b2 is connected with c1 and c2 is
connected with a1 as shown in the above figure. The three conductors R, Y and B are running
from the three junctions known as Line Conductors.

The current flowing through each phase is called Phase Current (Iph), and the current flowing
through each line conductor is called Line Current (IL).

The voltage across each phase is called Phase Voltage (Eph), and the voltage across two line
conductors is called Line Voltage (EL).

155
Relation between Phase Voltage and Line Voltage in Delta Connection

To understand the relationship between the phase voltage and line voltage in the Delta consider
the figure A shown below.

It is clear from the figure that the voltage across terminals 1 and 2 is the same as across the
terminals R and Y. Therefore,

Similarly,

Where, the phase voltages are

The line voltages are

156
Hence, in Delta Connection Line Voltage is equal to Phase Voltage.

Relation between Phase Current and Line Current in Delta Connection

As in the balanced system the three phase current I12, I23 and I31 are equal in magnitude but are
displaced from one another by 120 degrees electrical.

The phasor diagram is shown below.

Hence,

If we look at figure A, it is seen that the current is divided at every junction 1, 2 and 3.

Applying Kirchhoff’s Law at junction 1

The Incoming currents are equal to outgoing currents.

And their vector difference will be given as

The vector I12 is reversed and is added in the vector I31 to get the vector sum of I31 and –I12 as
shown above in the phasor diagram. Therefore,
157
As we know, IR = IL, therefore,

Similarly,

Hence, in Delta connection line current is root three times of phase current.

4. Wright short notes on analysis of balanced and unbalanced 3 phase


circuits?

Solution:
Requirements of a Balanced 3-Phase Set
Following are the requirements that must be satisfied in order for a set of 3 sinusoidal variables
(usually voltages or currents) to be a "balanced 3-phase set"
All 3 variables have the same amplitude.
All 3 variables have the same frequency.
All 3 variables are 120o in phase.
In terms of the time domain, a set of balance 3-phase voltages has the following general form.
Va= Vmcos ( t+ )
Vb= Vmcos( t+ -120o)
158
Vc= Vmcos( t+ -240o)= Vmcos( t+ +120o)
Notice that we have assumed (and will continue to assume) positive (abc) phase sequence, i.e.,
phase "b" follows 120o behind "a" & phase "c" follows 120o behind phase "b"
Figure below illustrates the balanced 3-phase voltages in time domain.

Figure: Balanced 3-Phase Variables in Time Domain

In terms of phasors, we write the same balanced set as follows. Note that the phasors are in
rms.
Va=Vm ˚
Vb=Vm -120o
Vc=Vm -240o=Vm +120o
Thus,
Vb=Va -120o, and Vc=Va +120o
Figure below illustrates the balanced 3-phase phasor graphically.

Figure: Balanced 3-Phase Phasors


Requirements of a Balanced 3-Phase Circuit
Following are the requirements that must be satisfied in order for a 3-phase system or circuit to
be balanced
All 3 sources are represented by a set of balanced 3-phase variables
All loads are 3-phase with equal impedances
Line impedances are equal in all 3 phases
Having a balanced circuit allows for simplified analysis of the 3-phase circuit. In fact, if the
circuit is balanced, we can solve for the voltages, currents, and powers, etc. in one phase using
159
circuit analysis. The values of the corresponding variables in the other two phases can be found
using some basic equations. This type of solution is accomplished using a "one-line diagram",
which will be discussed later. If the circuit is not balanced, all three phases should be analyzed
in detail.
Figure below illustrates a balanced 3-phase circuit and some of the naming conventions to be
used in this course

Figure: A Balanced 3-Phase Circuit

Unbalanced three-phase systems:


This chapter would be incomplete without mentioning unbalanced three phase systems. An
unbalanced system is caused by two possible situations: (1) the source voltages are not equal in
magnitude and/or differ in phase by angles that are unequal, or (2) load impedances are unequal.
Thus,
An unbalanced systemis due to unbalanced voltage sources or an unbalanced load.
To simplify analysis, we will assume balanced source voltages, but an unbalanced load.
Unbalanced three-phase systems are solved by direct application of mesh and nodal analysis.

Figure shows an example of an unbalanced three-phase system that consists of balanced source
voltages (notshown in the figure) and an unbalanced Y-connected load (shown in the figure).
Since the load is unbalanced, ZA, ZB, and ZC are not equal. The line currents are determined by
Ohm’s law asIa=VAN/ZA, Ib=VBN/ZB, Ic=VCN/ZC
This set of unbalanced line currents produces current in the neutral line, which is not zero as in a
balanced system. Applying KCL at node N gives the neutral line current as In=−(Ia+Ib+Ic)
In a three-wire system where the neutral line is absent, we can still find the line currents Ia, Ib,
and Icusing mesh analysis. At node N, KCL must be satisfied so that Ia+Ib+Ic= 0 in this case. The
160
same could be done for a -Y, Y-, or -three-wire system. As mentioned earlier, in long
distance power transmission, conductors in multiples of three (multiple three-wire systems) are
used, with the earth itself acting as the neutral conductor.

To calculate power in an unbalanced three-phase system requires that we find the power in each
phase using above Equations. The total power is not simply three times the power in one phase
but the sum of the powers in the three phases.

5. Discuss the different methods to measure the 3 phase active and power?

Solution:
3-Phase Power:
The 3-phase (3 ) power of a circuit is simply the sum of the power in the three individual phases.
Thus for a Wye circuit, the equation is
S3 = Sa + Sb + Sc
and for a Delta circuit, the equation is
S3 = Sab + Sbc + Sca
Another advantage of having a balanced circuit is that each phase has the same power.
That is,
S = Sab = Sbc = Sca = Sa = Sb = Sc
so that,
S3 = 3 S = 3 Sab = 3 Sa

Just in case you didn't know, right now you should be thinking "This is very cool!"
The single phase power can be found using either
S = Va Ia* or S = Vab Iab*
We can do some interesting rearrangements to get the power in terms of the line voltage (Vab)
and line current (Ia) only.

S = Va Ia* = |Va| | Ia|* = {|Vab| / }| Ia| =S


Thus, S3 = 3 S
Note:
In balanced systems, all the S 's and S3 have the same power factor (pf) and thus the same

power factor angle = impedance angle. .

If Xa, Xb, and Xc are a balanced set,


Xb = Xa (1 -120o) , and
Xc = Xa (1 +120o)
In general,
S3 = Sa + Sb + Sc
S3 = Sab + Sbc + Sca
For a balanced system,
S3 = 3 S
S = Va Ia*
S = Vab Iab*
161
For the balanced and positive sequence case,
Vab = Va 30o
Ia = IAB -30o
Various methods are used measurement of three phase power in three phase circuits on the basis
of number of wattmeter used.
We have three methods:
1. Measurement of Three Phase Power by Three Wattmeters Method

The circuit diagram is shown below-

Here, it is applied to three phase four wire systems, current coil of all the three wattmeters
marked as one, two and three are connected to respective phases marked as one, two and three.
Pressure coils of all the three wattmeter are connected to common point at neutral line. Clearly
each wattmeter will give reading as product of phase current and line voltage which is phase
power. The resultant sum of all the readings of wattmeter will give the total power of the circuit.
Mathematically we can

2. Measurement of Three Phase Power by Two Wattmeters Method

In this method we have two types of connections: Star connection of loads and
Delta connection of loads.
When the star connected load, the diagram is shown in below-

162
For star connected load clearly the reading of wattmeter one is product phase current and voltage
difference (V2-V3). Similarly the reading of wattmeter two is the product of phase current and
the voltage difference (V2-V3). Thus the total power of the circuit is sum of the reading of both
the wattmeters.
Mathematically we can write

but we have ,
Hence putting the value of .

We get total power as .

When delta connected load, the diagram is shown in below

The reading of wattmeter one can be written as


and
reading of wattmeter two is

But
,
Hence expression for total power will reduce to
.

3. Measurement of Three Phase Power by One Wattmeter Method


Limitation of this method is that it cannot be applied on unbalanced load. So under this condition
we have
.

Diagram is shown below:

163
Two switches are given which are marked as 1-3 and 1-2, by closing the switch 1-3 we get
reading of wattmeter as

Similarly the reading of wattmeter when switch 1-2 is closed is

1. Derive the expression for transient response of R-L series circuit for dc excitation?

Solution:

DC Response of an R-L Circuit:

Consider a circuit consisting of a resistance and inductance as shown in fig. the inductor in the
circuit is initially uncharged and is in series with the resistor. When switch S is closed, we can
find the complete solution for current. Application of Kirchhoff’s law to the circuit results in
following differential equations.

In the above equation, the current i is the solution to be found and V is the applied constant
voltage. The voltage V is applied to the circuit only when the switch S is closed. The above
equation is linear differential equation of the first order comparing with the non homogenous
differential equation

Where c is an arbitrary constant,


in similar way we can write the current equation as

To determine the value of ‘c’, in equation (5) we use initial conditions. In the circuit shown in fig
the switch S is closed at t=0. At t=0–, i.e. just before closing the switch S, the current in the
inductor is zero. Since the inductor does not allow sudden changes in currents, at t=0+ just after
the switch is closed, the current remains zero.
167
Substituting above conditions we get,
0 = c +(V/R)
Therefore, c = -V/R

Hence from equation

determine the differential equations.

169
By differentiating the above equation we get,

Equation is linear differential equation with only the complementary function. The particular
solution for the above equation is zero. The solution for this type of differential equation is

Here, to find the value of c, we use the initial conditions. In the circuit shown in fig switch S is
closed at t=0. Since the capacitor never allows sudden changes in voltage, it will act as short at
t=0+. So, the current in the circuit at t=0+ is V/R.
Substituting the i value in equation we get,

When switch S is closed, the response decays with time as shown in fig. In the solution, the
quantity RC is the time constant, and is denoted by r, where r= RC seconds.
After 5, the transient part reaches more than 99 percent of its final value. In fig we can find out
the voltage across each element by using the current equation.

7. Obtain the step response of R-L and R-C series circuits for dc excitation?

Solution:

Using the Laplace transform as part of your circuit analysis provides you with a prediction of
circuit response. Analyze the poles of the Laplace transform to get a general idea of output
behavior. Real poles, for instance, indicate exponential output behavior.
Follow these basic steps to analyze a circuit using Laplace techniques:
• Develop the differential equation in the time-domain using Kirchhoff’s laws and element
equations.
• Apply the Laplace transformation of the differential equation to put the equation in the s-
domain.
• Algebraically solve for the solution, or response transform.
• Apply the inverse Laplace transformation to produce the solution to the original
differential equation described in the time-domain.
To get comfortable with this process, you simply need to practice applying it to different types of
circuits such as an RC (resistor-capacitor) circuit, an RL (resistor-inductor) circuit, and an RLC
(resistor-inductor-capacitor) circuit.
Here is an RL circuit that has a switch that’s been in Position A for a long time. The switch
moves to Position B at time t = 0.

For this circuit, you have the following KVL equation:


vR(t) + vL(t) = 0
Next, formulate the element equation (or i-v characteristic) for each device. Using Ohm’s law to
describe the voltage across the resistor, you have the following relationship:
vR(t) = iL(t)R
The inductor’s element equation is

187
Substituting the element equations, vR(t) and vL(t), into the KVL equation gives you the desired
first-order differential equation:

On to Step 2: Apply the Laplace transform to the differential equation:

The preceding equation uses the linearity property which says you can take the Laplace
transform of each term. For the first term on the left side of the equation, you use the
differentiation property:

This equation uses IL(s) = ℒ[iL(t)], and I0 is the initial current flowing through the inductor.
The Laplace transform of the differential equation becomes
IL(s)R + L[sIL(s) – I0] = 0
Solve for IL(s):

For a given initial condition, this equation provides the solution iL(t) to the original first-order
differential equation. You simply perform an inverse Laplace transform of IL(s) — or look for
the appropriate transform pair in this table — to get back to the time-domain.

188
The preceding equation has an exponential form for the Laplace transform pair. You wind up
with the following solution:

The result shows as time t approaches infinity, the initial inductor current eventually dies out to
zero after a long period of time — about 5 time constants (L/R).

Using the Laplace transform as part of your circuit analysis provides you with a prediction of
circuit response. Analyze the poles of the Laplace transform to get a general idea of output
behavior. Real poles, for instance, indicate exponential output behavior.
Follow these basic steps to analyze a circuit using Laplace techniques:
Develop the differential equation in the time-domain using Kirchhoff’s laws and element
equations.
Apply the Laplace transformation of the differential equation to put the equation in the s-domain.
Algebraically solve for the solution, or response transform.
Apply the inverse Laplace transformation to produce the solution to the original differential
equation described in the time-domain.
To get comfortable with this process, you simply need to practice applying it to different types of
circuits such as an RC (resistor-capacitor) circuit, an RL (resistor-inductor) circuit, and an RLC
(resistor-inductor-capacitor) circuit.
Consider the simple first-order RC series circuit shown here. To set up the differential equation
for this series circuit, you can use Kirchhoff’s voltage law (KVL), which says the sum of the
voltage rises and drops around a loop is zero. This circuit has the following KVL equation
around the loop:
-vS(t) + vr(t) + vc(t) = 0

Next, formulate the element equation (or i-v characteristic) for each device. The element
equation for the source is
vS(t) = VAu(t)
Use Ohm’s law to describe the voltage across the resistor:
vR(t) = i(t)R
The capacitor’s element equation is given as
189
Substituting this expression for i(t) into vR(t) gives you the following expression:

Substituting vR(t), vC(t), and vS(t) into the KVL equation leads to

Now rearrange the equation to get the desired first-order differential equation:

Now you’re ready to apply the Laplace transformation of the differential equation in the s-
domain. The result is

On the left, the linearity property was used to take the Laplace transform of each term. For the
first term on the left side of the equation, you use the differentiation property, which gives you

This equation uses VC(s) = ℒ[vC(t)], and V0 is the initial voltage across the capacitor.
Using the following table, the Laplace transform of a step function provides you with this:

190
Based on the preceding expressions for the Laplace transforms, the differential equation becomes
the following:

Next, rearrange the equation:

Solve for the output Vc(s) to get the following transform solution:

By performing an inverse Laplace transform of VC(s) for a given initial condition, this equation
leads to the solution vC(t) of the original first-order differential equation.
On to Step 3 of the process. To get the time-domain solution vC(t), you need to do a partial
fraction expansion for the first term on the right side of the preceding equation:

You need to determine constants A and B. To simplify the preceding equation, multiply both
sides by s(s + 1/RC) to get rid of the denominators:

Algebraically rearrange the equation by collecting like terms:

191
In order for the left side of the preceding equation to be zero, the coefficients must be zero (A +
B = 0 and A – VA = 0). For constants A and B, you wind up with A = VA and B = –VA.
Substitute these values into the following equation:

The substitution leads you to:

Now substitute the preceding expression into the VC(s) equation to get the transform solution:

That completes the partial fraction expansion. You can then use the table given earlier to find the
inverse Laplace transform for each term on the right side of the preceding equation.
The first term has the form of a step function, and the last two terms have the form of an
exponential, so the inverse Laplace transform of the preceding equation leads you to the
following solution vC(t) in the time-domain:

The result shows as time t approaches infinity, the capacitor charges to the value of the
input VA. Also, the initial voltage of the capacitor eventually dies out to zero after a long period
of time (about 5 time constants, RC).

1. Explain the concept of poles, zeros, their significance and necessary conditions for
driving point functions and transfer functions?

Solution:

System Poles and Zeros:


The transfer function provides a basis for determining important system response characteristics
without solving the complete differential equation. As defined, the transfer function is a rational
function in the complex variable s = σ + jω, that is

192
It is often convenient to factor the polynomials in the numerator and denominator, and to write
the transfer function in terms of those factors

Where the numerator and denominator polynomials, N(s) and D(s), have real coefficients defined
by the system’s differential equation and K = bm/an. As written in Eq. (2) the zi’s are the roots
of the equation
N(s) =0
and are defined to be the system zeros, and the pi’s are the roots of the equation
D(s) = 0,
and are defined to be the system poles. In Eq. (2) the factors in the numerator and denominator
are written so that when s = zi the numerator N(s) = 0 and the transfer function vanishes, that is

and similarly when s = pi the denominator polynomial D(s) = 0 and the value of the transfer
function becomes unbounded,

All of the coefficients of polynomials N(s) and D(s) are real, therefore the poles and zeros must
be either purely real, or appear in complex conjugate pairs. In general for the poles, either pi=σi,
or else pi, pi+1 = σi+jωi. The existence of a single complex pole without a corresponding
conjugate pole would generate complex coefficients in the polynomial D(s). Similarly, the
system zeros are either real or appear in complex conjugate pairs.

A system is characterized by its poles and zeros in the sense that they allow reconstruction of the
input/output differential equation. In general, the poles and zeros of a transfer function may be
complex, and the system dynamics may be represented graphically by plotting their locations on
the complex s-plane, whose axes represent the real and imaginary parts of the complex variable
193
s. Such plots are known as pole-zero plots. It is usual to mark a zero location by a circle (◦) and a
pole location a cross (×). The location of the poles and zeros provide qualitative insights into the
response characteristics of a system
System Stability: The stability of a linear system may be determined directly from its transfer
function. An nth order linear system is asymptotically stable only if all of the components in the
homogeneous response from a finite set of initial conditions decay to zero as time increases, or

Where the pi are the system poles. In a stable system all components of the homogeneous
response must decay to zero as time increases. If any pole has a positive real part there is a
component in the output that increases without bound, causing the system to be unstable.
In order for a linear system to be stable, all of its poles must have negative real parts that are they
must all lie within the left-half of the s-plane. An unstable pole, lying in the right half of the s-
plane, generates a component in the system homogeneous response that increases without bound
from any finite initial conditions.
A system having one or more poles lying on the imaginary axis of the s-plane has non-decaying
oscillatory components in its homogeneous response, and is defined to be marginally stable.
Properties of Driving Point (Positive Real) Functions:
These conditions are required to satisfy to be positive realness:
➢ Y(s) must be a rational function in s with real coefficients, i.e., the coefficients of
the numerator and denominator polynomials is real and positive.

➢ The poles and zeros of Y(s) have either negative or zero real parts, i.e., Y(s) not have
poles or zeros in the right half s plane.

➢ Poles of Y(s) on the imaginary axis must be simple and their residues must be real and
positive, i.e., Y(s) not has multiple poles or zeros on the jω axis. The same statement
applies to the poles of l/Y(s).

➢ The degrees of the numerator and denominator polynomials in Y(s) differ at most by 1.
Thus the number of finite poles and finite zeros of Y(s) differ at most by 1.

➢ The terms of lowest degree in the numerator and denominator polynomials of


Y(s) differ in degree at most by 1. So Y(s) has neither multiple poles nor zeros at the
origin.

➢ There are no missing terms in numerator and denominator polynomials unless all even or
all odd terms are missing.

2. What is two-port network? Obtain the Z, Y, Hybrid and ABCD parameters?

Solution:

A network containing two pairs of terminals is called as two port network.

194
Normally one pair of terminals coming together to supply power or to withdraw power or to
measure the parameters, are called as port. To achieve simplicity, the whole network is shown
with a single block.

A typical two port network is as shown below in fig (a)

Z-parameters can be defined by the following equations


V1 = Z11I1 + Z12I2 …………………… (1)
V2 = Z21I1 + Z22I2 …………………… (2)
In Matrix form:

If port 2-21is open circuited, i.e., I2 = 0, then Z11 = V1/I1 & Z21 = V2/I1
If port 1-11is open circuited, i.e., I1 = 0, then Z12 = V1/I2 & Z22 = V2/I2

Here, Z11 is the driving point impedance at port 1-11with 2-21open circuited. It can also be
called as open circuit input impedance.
Z21 is the transfer impedance at port 1-11with 2-21 open circuited. It can also be called as open
circuit forward transfer impedance.
Z12 is the transfer impedance at port 2-21 with 1-11open circuited. It can also be called as open
circuit reverse transfer impedance and
Z22 is the driving point impedance at port 2-21 with 1-11open circuited. It can also be called as
open circuit output impedance.
Network is
a) Reciprocal then V1/I2 (where I1 = 0) = V2/I1 (where I2 = 0) i.e., Z12 = Z21
b) Symmetrical then V1/I1 (where I2 = 0) = V2/I2 (where I1 = 0) i.e., Z11 = Z22
SHORT CIRCUIT ADMITTANCE PARAMETERS (Y-parameters):

Y-parameters can be defined by the following equations


I1 = Y11V1 + Y12V2 ………………. (1)
I2 = Y21V1 + Y22V2 ………………. (2)
In matrix form

195
If port 2-21is short circuited, i.e. V2 = 0 then Y11 = I1/V1 & Y21 = I2/V1
If port 1-11is short circuited, i.e. V1 = 0 then Y12 = I1/V2 & Y22 = I2/V2

If the network is
a) Reciprocal then I2/V1 (where V2 = 0) = I1/V2 (where V1 = 0) i.e. Y21 = Y12
b) Symmetrical then I1/ V1 (where V2 = 0) = I2/ V2 (where V1 = 0) i.e. Y11 = Y22

Hybrid Parameters (h-Parameters):

h-parameters can be defined by the following equations

In matrix form:

If port 2-21is short circuited, i.e. V2 = 0 then

h11 is called input impedance and h21 is called forward current gain.

If port 1-11is open circuited, i.e., I1=0 then

h22 is called output admittance and h12 is called reverse voltage gain.

ABCD Parameters:

ABCD parameters can be defined by the following equations

196
In matrix form

If port 2-21is open circuited i.e., I2=0 then

A is called reverse voltage ratio and C is known as transfer admittance.


If port 2-21is short circuited i.e., V2=0 then

B is called transfer impedance and D is called reverse current ratio.

3. Briefly discuss about network functions and network parameters?

Solution:
A network function is the Laplace transform of an impulse response. Its format is a ratio of two
polynomials of the complex frequencies. Consider the general two-port network shown in Figure
a. The terminal voltages and currents of the two-port can be related by two classes of network
functions, namely, the driving point functions and the transfer functions.

197
The driving point functions relate the voltage at a port to the current at the same port. Thus,
these functions are a property of a single port. For the input port the driving point impedance
function ZIN(s) is defined as
ZIN(s)=VIN(s)/IIN(s)
This function can be measured by observing the current IIN when the input port is driven by a
voltage source VIN. The driving point admittance function YIN(s) is the reciprocal of the
impedance function, and is given by

The output port driving point functions are denned in a similar way. The transfer
functions of the two-port relate the voltage (or current) at one port to the voltage (or
current) at the other port. The possible forms of transfer functions are:
1. The voltage transfer function, which is a ratio of one voltage to another voltage.
2. The current transfer function, which is a ratio of one current to another current.
3. The transfer impedance function, which is the ratio of a voltage to a current.
4. The transfer admittance function, which is the ratio of a current to a voltage.
The voltage transfer functions are defined with the output port an open circuit, as:

To evaluate the voltage gain, for example, the output voltage VO is measured with the input port
driven by a voltage source VIN. The other three types of transfer functions can be defined in a
similar manner. Of the four types of transfer functions, the voltage transfer function is the one
most often specified in the design of filters
The functions defined above, when realized using resistors, inductors, capacitors, and
active devices, can be shown to be the ratios of polynomials in s with real coefficients. This is
so because the network functions are obtained by solving simple algebraic node equations, which
involve at most the terms R, sL, sC and their reciprocals. The active device, if one exists, the
solution still involves only the addition and multiplication of simple terms, which can only lead
to a ratio of polynomials in s. In addition, all the coefficients of the numerator and denominator
polynomials will be real.
Thus, the general form of a network function is

198
and all the coefficients ai and bi are real. If the numerator and denominator polynomials are
factored, an alternate form of H(s) is obtained:

Where z1, z2, ..., zn are called the zeros of H(s), because H(s) = 0 when s = zi. The roots of
the denominator pl, p2, ..., pm are called the poles of H(s). It can be seen that H(s) = ∞ at
the poles, s = pi.

The poles and zeros can be plotted on the complex s plane (s = σ + jω), which has the real
part σ for the abscissa, and the imaginary part jω for the ordinate.

Properties of all Network Functions:

A consequence of this property is that complex poles (and zeros) must occur in conjugate
pairs. To demonstrate this fact consider a complex root at (s=-a–jb) which leads to the factor
(s+a+jb) in the network function. The jb term will make some of the coefficients complex in
the polynomial, unless the conjugate of the complex root at (s=-a+jb) is also present in the
polynomial. The product of a complex factor and its conjugate is which can be seen
to have real coefficients.

199
Further important properties of network functions are obtained by restricting the networks to
be stable, by which we mean that a bounded input excitation to the network must yield a
bounded response. Put differently, the output of a stable network cannot be made to increase
indefinitely by the application of a bounded input excitation. Passive networks are stable by
their very nature, since they do not contain energy sources that might inject additional energy
into the network. Active networks, however, do contain energy sources that could join
forces with the input excitation to make the output increase indefinitely. Such
unstable networks, however, have no use in the world of practical filters and are therefore
precluded from all our future discussions .

1. Wright short notes on filters?

Solution:
201
The concept of filters has been an integral part of the evolution of electrical engineering from the
beginning.
A filter is a circuit that is designed to pass signals with desired frequencies and reject or attenuate
others.
As a frequency-selective device, a filter can be used to limit the frequency spectrum of a signal
to some specified band of frequencies. Filters are the
Circuits used in radio and TV receivers to allow us to select one desired signal out of a multitude
of broadcast signals in the environment. A filter is a passive filter if it consists of only passive
elements R, L, and C. It is said to be an active filter if it consists of active elements (such as
transistors and op amps) in addition to passive elements R, L, and C. There are other kinds of
filters—such as digital filters, electromechanical filters, and microwave filters—which are
beyond the level of the text. As shown in Fig. , there are four types of filters whether passive or
active:
1. A low pass filter passes low frequencies and stops high frequencies, as shown ideally in Fig.
(a).
2. A high pass filter passes high frequencies and rejects low frequencies, as shown ideally in Fig.
(b).
3. A band pass filter passes frequencies within a frequency band and blocks or attenuates
frequencies outside the band, as shown ideally in Fig. (c).
4. A band stop filter passes frequencies outside a frequency band and blocks or attenuates
frequencies within the band, as shown ideally in Fig. (d).

2. Discuss the following terms?


a) Low pass filter
b) High pass filter

Solution:
Low pass Filter:

A typical low pass filter is formed when the output of an RC circuit is taken off the capacitor as
shown in Fig... The transfer function is

202
Note that H (0) = 1, H (∞) = 0. Figure shows the plot of |H (ω)|, along with the ideal
characteristic. The half-power frequency, which is equivalent to the corner frequency on the
Bode plots but in the context of filters is usually known as the cutoff frequency ωc, is obtained
by setting the magnitude of H(ω) equal to 1/√2, thus

203
The cutoff frequency is the frequency at which the transfer function H drops in magnitude to
70.71% of its maximum value. It is also regarded as the frequency at which the power dissipated
in a circuit is half of its maximum value.

The cut-off frequency is also called the roll off frequency.

A low pass filter is designed to pass only frequencies from dc up to the cutoff frequency ωc.

A low pass filter can also be formed when the output of an RL circuit is taken off the resistor. Of
course, there are many other circuits for low pass filters.

High pass Filter:


A high pass filter is formed when the output of an RC circuit is taken off the resistor as shown in
Fig. The transfer function is

Note that H (0) = 0, H (∞) = 1. Figure shows the plot of |H (ω)|. Again, the corner or cutoff
frequency is

204
A high pass filter is designed to pass all frequencies above its cutoff frequency ωc.

A high pass filter can also be formed when the output of an RL circuit is taken off the inductor.

3. Explain about band pass and band reject filters?

Solution:
Band pass Filter:
The RLC series resonant circuit provides a band pass filter when the output is taken off the
resistor as shown in Fig. The transfer function is

205
We observe that H (0) = 0, H (∞) = 0. Figure 14.36 shows the plot of |H (ω)|. The band pass filter
passes a band of frequencies (ω1 < ω < ω2) centered on ω0, the center frequency, which is given
by

A band pass filter is designed to pass all frequencies within a band of frequencies, ω1 < ω < ω2.
Since the band pass filter in Fig is a series resonant circuit, the half power frequencies, the
bandwidth, and the quality factor are determined as in Section. A band pass filter can also be
formed by cascading the low pass filter (where ω2 = ωc) with the high pass filter (where ω1 =
ωc).
Band stop Filter:
Filter that prevents a band of frequencies between two designated values (ω1 and ω2) from
passing is variably known as a band stop, band reject, or notch filter. A band stop filter is formed
when the output RLC series resonant circuit is taken off the LC series combination as shown in
Fig. The transfer function is

206
Notice that H (0) = 1, H(∞) = 1. Figure shows the plot of |H (ω)|. Again, the center frequency is
given by

While the half-power frequencies, the bandwidth, and the quality factor is calculated using the
formulas in Section for a series resonant circuit. Here, ω0 is called the frequency of rejection,
while the corresponding bandwidth (B = ω2 −ω1) is known as the bandwidth of rejection. Thus,

A band stop filter is designed to stop or eliminate all frequencies within a band of frequencies,
ω1 < ω < ω2.

4. What is constant K filter?


Solution:
In constant k filters, z1 and z2 are opposite type of reactances.
207
z1z2 = k2

Where k is a constant independent of frequency.


There are two types of constant k type filters:
(i) constant k low pass filter
(ii) constant k high pass filter

Figure shows constant k low pass filter.

Let

Determination of pass band and stop band:


(i) when

208
(ii) when

The passband starts at f = 0 and continues up to fC, the cutoff frequency. All the frequencies
above.

209
Cut off frequency fC are in the attenuation or stop band. Thus, the network is called a low-pass
filter.

We also know that in the pass band

In the attenuation band,

210
The variation of a and b is plotted in the Fig.

The attenuation is zero throughout the pass band but increases gradually from the cutoff
frequency. The phase shift b is zero at zero frequency and increases gradually through the pass
band, reaches p at cutoff frequency fC. It remains at p for all frequencies beyond fC.
Determination of characteristic impedance:
The characteristic impedance of low pass filter will be given by

211
The plots of characteristic impedance are shown in Fig.

z0T is real when f < fC i.e. in the pass band. If f = fC, z0T = 0 and for f > fC, z0T is imaginary in the
attenuation band, rising to infinite reactance at infinite frequency.
z0p is real when f < fC. If f = fC, z0p is finite and for f > fC, z0p is imaginary.

Constant k high pass filter is obtained by changing the positions of series and shunt arms of the
constant k low pass filter. Figure shows a constant k high pass filter.

212
Let

Determination of pass band and stop band:

(i) when

(ii) when

213
The reactances z1 and z2 are shown in Fig.

The filter passes all the frequency beyond fC. All frequencies below the cutoff frequency lie in
attenuation or stop band. Hence the network is called a high pass filter.

5. Briefly discuss about m-derived filters?

Solution:

m-derived filters or m-type filters are a type of electronic filter designed using the image method.
They were invented by Otto Zobel in the early 1920s. This filter type was originally intended for
use with telephone multiplexing and was an improvement on the existing constant k type
filter. The main problem being addressed was the need to achieve a better match of the filter into
the terminating impedances. In general, all filters designed by the image method fail to give an
214
exact match, but the m-type filter is a big improvement with suitable choice of the parameter m.
The m-type filter section has a further advantage in that there is a rapid transition from the cut-
off frequency of the pass band to a pole of attenuation just inside the stop band. Despite these
advantages, there is a drawback with m-type filters; at frequencies past the pole of attenuation,
the response starts to rise again, and m-types have poor stop band rejection. For this reason,
filters designed using m-type sections are often designed as composite filters with a mixture of k-
type and m-type sections and different values of m at different points to get the optimum
performance from both types

The building block of m-derived filters, as with all image impedance filters, is the "L" network,
called a half-section and composed of a series impedance Z, and a shunt admittance Y. The m-
derived filter is a derivative of the constant k filter. The starting point of the design is the values
of Z and Y derived from the constant k prototype and are given by

Where k is the nominal impedance of the filter, or R0. The designer now multiplies Z and Y by
an arbitrary constant m (0 < m < 1). There are two different kinds of m-derived section; series
and shunt. To obtain the m-derived series half section, the designer determines the impedance
that must be added to 1/mY to make the image impedance ZiT the same as the image impedance
of the original constant k section. From the general formula for image impedance, the additional
impedance required can be shown to be

To obtain the m-derived shunt half section, an admittance is added to 1/mZ to make the image
impedance ZiΠ the same as the image impedance of the original half section. The additional
admittance required can be shown to be

The general arrangements of these circuits are shown in the diagrams to the right along with a
specific example of a low pass section.

215
A consequence of this design is that the m-derived half section will match a k-type section on
one side only. Also, an m-type section of one value of m will not match another m-type section
of another value of m except on the sides which offer the Zi of the k-type

Operating frequency

For the low-pass half section shown, the cut-off frequency of the m-type is the same as the k-
type and is given by

The pole of attenuation occurs at;

From this it is clear that smaller values of m will produce closer to the cut-off frequency and
hence will have a sharper cut-off. Despite this cut-off, it also brings the unwanted stop band
response of the m-type closer to the cut-off frequency, making it more difficult for this to be
filtered with subsequent sections. The value of m chosen is usually a compromise between these
conflicting requirements. There is also a practical limit to how small m can be made due to the
inherent resistance of the inductors. This has the effect of causing the pole of attenuation to be
less deep and the slope of cut-off to be less steep. This effect becomes more marked as is brought
closer to , and there ceases to be any improvement in response with an m of about 0.2 or less

Image impedance
The following expressions for image impedances are all referenced to the low-pass prototype
section. They are scaled to the nominal impedance R0 = 1, and the frequencies in those
expressions are all scaled to the cut-off frequency ωc = 1.

Series sections

The image impedances of the series section are given by

216
and is the same as that of the constant k section

Shunt sections

The image impedances of the shunt section are given by

and is the same as that of the constant k section

As with the k-type section, the image impedance of the m-type low-pass section is purely real
below the cut-off frequency and purely imaginary above it. From the chart it can be seen that in
the pass band the closest impedance match to a constant pure resistance termination occurs at
approximately m = 0.6

Transmission parameters
For an m-derived section in general the transmission parameters for a half-section are given by

and for n half-sections

For the particular example of the low-pass L section, the transmission parameters solve
differently in three frequency bands.

217
For the transmission is lossless:

For the transmission parameters are

1.Define Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction.?

A) Faraday's law of induction is a basic law of electromagnetism predicting how a magnetic field will
interact with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force (EMF)—a phenomenon called
electromagnetic induction.

2. Defineself-inductance?

A) Inductance is defined as the magnetic induction of a voltage in a current carrying wire when the
current in a wire changes. ... In the case of self-inductance, the magnetic field created by a changing
current in the circuit induces a voltage in the same wire or circuit - in other words any voltage is self-
induced.

3.Define mutual inductance?

Mutual Inductance is the basic operating principal of the transformer, motors, generators and any
other electrical component that interacts with another magnetic field. Then we can define mutual
induction as the current flowing in one coil that induces a voltage in an adjacent coil.

4. What is DOT convention?


Dot convention is mostly found in circuits where coupled systems occur. Dot convention helps us
determine the direction of winding of the coil and thereby makes it possible for us to find out the actual

For coil 2, L2 – M21 – M23 = 8 – 4 – 5 = – 1
For coil 3, L3 + M31 – M32 = 10 + 2 – 5 = 7
LT = 4 – 1 + 7 = 10H
or LT = L1 + L2 + L3 – 2M12 – 2M23 + 2M12
LT = 6 + 8 + 10 = 10H
4) Determine the inductance of the three series-connected inductors of Fig. 13.73.

5) Two coils connected in series-aiding fashion have a total inductance of 250 mH. When
connected in a series-opposing configuration, the coils have a total inductance of 150 mH. If
the inductance of one coil (L1) is three times the other, find L1, L2, and M. What is the
coupling coefficient?
Sol:
L1 + L2 + 2M = 250 mH (1)
L1 + L2 – 2M = 150 mH (2)
Adding (1) and (2),
2L1 + 2L2 = 400 mH
But, L1 = 3L2,, or 8L2 + 400, and L2 = 50 mH
L1 = 3L2 = 150 mH
From (2), 150 + 50 – 2M = 150 leads to M = 25 mH
k = M/ L1L2 = 25 / 50x150 = 0.2887

1. Explain the Faradays laws?

Solution:
Consider an iron ring on which a coil is wound. Most rings are made like anchor rings in that
their cross selection is circular. Such a ring is called a toroid. Whenever a current is flowing
through the coil there will be magnetic flux produced and the path fallowed by the magnetic flux
is known as magnetic circuit.

224
Reluctance of magnetic circuit is defined as the ratio of magneto motive

FARADAYS LAWS OF ELECTRO MAGNETIC INDUCTION:


In 1831, Michael Faraday formulated two laws on the bases of experiments. These laws are
called Faraday's laws of electromagnetic induction.

FIRST LAW:
First Law of Faraday's Electromagnetic Induction state that whenever a conductor are placed in a
varying magnetic field emf are induced which is called induced emf, if the conductor circuit are
closed current are also induced which is called induced current.
(OR)
Whenever a current carrying conductor is rotated in magnetic field it will induces an emf.
SECOND LAW:
Second Law of Faraday's Electromagnetic
c Induction state that the induced emf is equal to the
rate of change of flux linkages (flux linkages is the product of turns, n of the coil and the flux
associated with it).

Explanation:
Consider a magnet approaching towards a coil. Here we consider two instants of time T 1 and
time T2.
Flux linkage with the coil at time, T1= NΦ1Weber (wb)
Flux linkage with the coil at time, T2=NΦ2wb
Change in flux linkage = N (Φ2–Φ1)
Let this change in flux linkage be, Φ = Φ2–Φ1
So, the Change in flux linkage = NΦ
Now the rate of change of flux linkage = NΦ / t
225
Take derivative on right hand side we will get The rate of change of flux linkage = NdΦ/dt
But according to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, the rate of change of flux linkage is
equal to induced emf.
Therefore,

According to lenz’s law,


Where Φ in weber, Φ = B * A
B = magnetic field strength
A = area of the coil
From this, Faraday concluded that whenever there is relative motion between conductor and a
magnetic field, the flux linkage with a coil changes and this change in flux induces a voltage
across a coil.
2.Explain the concept of self and mutual inductance?

Solution:
Self Induction:
Inductance is the property of the circuit element which will oppose any change of current
through it. By Faraday’s laws of electromagnetic induction, it fallows that whenever there is
change of flux linking with a coil with time, and then there will be an induced emf in the coil.
The induced emf is proportional to the rate of change flux linkages of the coil.

Where N is the number of turns in the coil and Φ is the flux in weber in the coil.

The negative sign indicates that the direction of induced emf is such that it opposes the every
cause which is producing it, also known as LENZ’S law. Since the flux in the coil is directly
proportional to current flowing in it, the emf induced is proportional to the rate of change of
current.
If the current I and flux linkages refer to the same physical system, than the parameter L is
called self inductance. It is measured in HENRYS.
Mutual Inductance:
Let us consider that there are two coils which are placed on the same magnetic core such that the
flux produced by current flowing through one coil completely links with the other coils also. Let
the coil1 is connected to AC supply and coil2 is open circuit.

226
A current flowing in the first coil produces a flux as shown in fig. The direction of time varying
flux is given by right hand thumb rule. The flux produced by current not only links with the coil1
but also links with coil2. The emf induced in coil1 is called self induced emf.

The proportionality constant M21 between induced emf in the second coil and rate of change of
current in the first coil is called mutual inductance. Any two such coils are said to be
magnetically coupled.
The unit of mutual inductance is HENRY. The mutual inductance between two coils is said to be
1 Henry when a change of current of 1 Amp/Sec in one coil produces a mutual induced emf of 1
volt in the other coil.

Self induced emf in coil1,

Mutual induced emf in the coil2,

Let us assume that second coil also carries a current of i2 as shown in fig, which in turn produces
a self induced emf in coil2 and a mutual induced emf in coil1.
Self induced emf in coil2

Mutual induced emf in the coil1=

In practice all the flux produced by current in one coil may not completely link with the other
coil. Depending on the position and orientation of the two coils, only a fraction of the flux may
be linking with the other coil. Then the two circuits are said to be loosely coupled and if all the
flux is linking with the other coil, then they are said to tightly coupled.

227
3.Explain the following terms?

c) What is coefficient of coupling? Derive the formula for K?


d) Discuss dot notation?

Solution:
Coefficient of Coupling:
It is the factor which indicates the degree of coupling between the coupled coils given by

Expressing (1) in terms of self and mutual inductances,

If M21 = M12 = M then we get,

This will be equal to 1 if coils are coupled tightly

228
Coefficient of coupling is also defined as the ratio of mutual flux to total flux. It is always less
than one (K<=1) (this is the principle used in transformer).
Dot Notation
The Polarity or Dot Notation for a device with mutual inductance designates the relative
instantaneous current directions of such device's winding leads.

The physical criteria of this notation is to preserve a proper magnetic flow circuit direction inside
the material. Keeping all current entering a transformer or coupled inductances, in phase, through
dotted leads or ports will keep the magnetic flow circulating without canceling each other, and
the device will work under their rated efficiency.

Entering current on different dotted ports -one in a dotted port and the other with an un-dotted
port- will cause the magnetic flow components to subtract each other, making the device
working inefficiently. This criteria holds for devices with several coils, in order to have each of
them aggregating in an additive way by entering dotted ports.

Leads of primary and secondary windings are said to be of the same polarity when instantaneous
current entering the primary winding lead results in instantaneous current leaving the secondary
winding lead as though the two leads were a continuous circuit. In the case of two windings
wound around the same core in parallel, for example, the polarity will be the same on the same
ends: A sudden (instantaneous) current in the first coil will induce a voltage opposing the sudden
increase (Lenz's law) in the first and also in the second coil, because the inductive magnetic field
produced by the current in the first coil traverses the two coils in the same manner. The second
coil will, therefore, show an induced current opposite in direction to the inducing current in the
first coil. Both leads behave like a continuous circuit, one current entering into the first lead and
another current leaving the second lead.

Referring to the circuit diagrams below:[dubious – discuss] The circuit polarity signs '+' and '-'
indicate the relative polarities of the induced voltages in both coils, i.e. how an instantaneous
(sudden) magnetic field traversing the primary and secondary coils induces a voltage in both
coils.
The instantaneous polarities of the voltages across each inductor with respect to the dotted
terminals are the same.
The circuit arrows indicate example applied and resultant relative current directions. The '+' and
'-' polarities in the diagram are not the voltages driving the currents.
The instantaneous directions of the current entering the primary inductor at its dotted end and the
current leaving of the secondary inductor at its dotted end are the same.
Subtractive polarity transformer designs are shown in the upper circuit diagrams. Additive
polarity transformer designs are shown in the lower circuit diagrams.

4.Discuss series and parallel magnetic circuits?

Solution:
Composite Magnetic Circuits
Consider a circular ring made from different materials of lengths l1, l2 and l3, cross-sectional
areas a1, a2 and a3 and relative permeability r1, r2 andr3 respectively with a cut of
length lg known as air-gap. The total reluctance is the arithmetic sum of individual reluctances as
they are joined in series.

230
Or Total ampere-turns required

= Sum of ampere-turns required for individual parts of the magnetic circuit.


Parallel Magnetic Circuits
In series circuits, all parts of the magnetic circuit carry same flux and total ampere-turns required
to create a given flux is the arithmetic sum of the ampere-turns required for individual parts of
the circuit.
But if the various paths of the magnetic circuit are in parallel, as shown in Fig. 4 the ampere-
turns required for the combination is equal to the ampere-turns required to create the given flux
in one path.
For example, for the circuit shown in Fig. 4 paths ABCD and AFED are in parallel, so ampere-
turns required creating flux in path ABCD is equal to ampere-turns required to create
flux in path AFED and also equal to the ampere-turns required for both of the paths.
Hence total ampere-turns required for magnetic circuit shown in Fig. 4.
= AT for path DA + AT for path ABCD
= AT for path DA + AT for path AFED

1. What are the advantages of a poly phase system over a single-phase system?

A) 1. A polyphone transmission line requires less conductor material than a single-phase line for
transmitting the same amount power at the same voltage.
2. For a given frame size a polyphone machine gives a higher output than a single-phase machine For
example, output of a 3-phase motor is 1.5 times the output of single-phase motor of same size
3. Polyphone motors have a uniform torque where most of the single-phase motors have a pulsating
torque.
2. Define Unbalanced three-phase systems

A) This chapter would be incomplete without mentioning unbalanced three phase systems. An
unbalanced system is caused by two possible situations: (1) the source voltages are not equal in
magnitude and/or differ in phase by angles that are unequal, or (2) load impedances are unequal.
Thus,
An unbalanced system is due to unbalanced voltage sources or an unbalanced load.
To simplify analysis, we will assume balanced source voltages, but an unbalanced load.
Unbalanced three-phase systems are solved by direct application of mesh and nodal analysis.

1.Explain star and delta connections of three phase system?

Solution:
In three phase circuit, connections can be given in two types:
iii) Star connection
iv) Delta connection

Star Connection:
In star connection, there is four wire, three wires are phase wire and fourth is neutral which is
taken from the star point. Star connection is preferred for long distance power
transmission because it is having the neutral point. In this we need to come to the concept of
balanced and unbalanced current in power system.

When equal current will flow through all the three phases, then it is called as balanced current.
And when the current will not be equal in any of the phase, then it is unbalanced current. In this
case, during balanced condition there will be no current flowing through the neutral line and
hence there is no use of the neutral terminal. But when there will be unbalanced current flowing
in the three phase circuit, neutral is having a vital role. It will take the unbalanced current
through to the ground and protect the transformer. Unbalanced current affects transformer and it
may also cause damage to the transformer and for this star connection is preferred for long
distance transmission. The star connection is shown below-

235
In star connection, the line voltage is √3 times of phase voltage. Line voltage is
the voltage between two phases in three phase circuit and phase voltage is the voltage between
one phase to the neutral line. And the current is same for both line and phase. It is shown as
expression below
Delta Connection:
In delta connection, there is three wires alone and no neutral terminal is taken. Normally delta
connection is preferred for short distance due to the problem of unbalanced current in the circuit.
The figure is shown below for delta connection.

In the load station, ground can be used as neutral path if required. In delta connection, the line
voltage is same with that of phase voltage. And the line current is √3 times of phase current. It is
shown as expression below,

Three-phase voltages are often produced with a three-phase ac generator (or alternator) whose
cross-sectional view is shown in Fig. The generator basically consists of a rotating magnet
(called the rotor) surrounded by a stationary winding (called the stator). Three separate windings
or coils with terminals a-a’, b-b’, and c-c’are physically placed 120◦ apart around the stator.
Terminals a and a’, for example, stand for one of the ends of coils going into and the other end
coming out of the page. As the rotor rotates, its magnetic field “cuts” the flux from the three coils
and induces voltages in the coils. Because the coils are placed 120◦ apart, the induced voltages in
the coils are equal in magnitude but out of phase by 120◦ (Fig. 12.5). Since each coil can be
regarded as a single-phase generator by itself, the three-phase generator can supply power to
both single-phase and three-phase loads.

236
A typical three-phase system consists of three voltage sources connected to loads by three or four
wires (or transmission lines). (Three phase current sources are very scarce.) A three-phase
system is equivalent to three single-phase circuits. The voltage sources can be either wye-
connected as shown in Fig. (a) or delta-connected as in Fig. (b).
Let us consider the wye-connected voltages in Fig. (a) for now.

The voltages Van, Vbn, and Vcn are respectively between lines a, b, and c, and the neutral line n.
These voltages are called phase voltages. If the voltage sources have the same amplitude and
frequency ω and are out of phase with each other by 120◦, the voltages are said to be balanced.
This implies that
Van + Vbn + Vcn = 0
|Van| = |Vbn| = |Vcn|
Thus, Balanced phase voltages are equal in magnitude and are out of phase with each other by
120◦. Since the three-phase voltages are 120◦ out of phase with each other, there are two
possible combinations. One possibility is shown in Fig. (a) and expressed mathematically as

Van=Vp0◦
Vbn=Vp −120◦
Vcn=Vp−240◦ =Vp+120◦
where Vp is the effective or rms value. This is known as the abc sequence or positive sequence.
In this phase sequence, Van leads Vbn, which in turn leads Vcn. This sequence is produced when
the rotor in Fig. rotates counterclockwise. The other possibility is shown in Fig. (b)and is given
by

The phase sequence is the time order in which the voltages pass through their respective
maximum values.

237
This is called the acb sequence or negative sequence. For this phase sequence, Van leads Vcn,
which in turn leads Vbn. The acb sequence is produced when the rotor in Fig. rotates in the
clockwise direction.
Like the generator connections, a three-phase load can be either wye-connected or delta-
connected, depending on the end application. Fig. (a) shows a wye-connected load, and Fig. (b)
shows a delta-connected load. The neutral line in Fig.(a) may or may not be there, depending on
whether the system is four- or three-wire. A wye- or delta-connected load is said to be
unbalanced if the phase impedances are not equal in magnitude or phase.

Two possible three phase load configurations:


(a) a Y-connected load,
(b) a Delta-connected load
A balanced load is one in which the phase impedances are equal in magnitude and in phase. For
a balanced wye-connected load,
Z1= Z2 = Z3= ZY
Where ZY is the load impedance per phase. For a balanced delta-connected load,
Za = Zb = Zc = Z
where Z is the load impedance per phase in this case. We recall from Eq. that
Z= 3ZY or ZY= (1/3)Z
So we know that a wye-connected load can be transformed into a delta connected load, or vice
versa, using Eq. Since both the three-phase source and the three-phase load can be either wye- or

238
delta-connected, we have four possible connections: Y-Y connection (i.e., Y-connected source
with a Y-connected load).
• Y-connection.
• - connection.
•-Y connection.
It is appropriate to mention here that a balanced delta-connected load is more common than a
balanced wye-connected load. This is due to the ease with which loads may be added or removed
from each phase of a delta-connected load. This is very difficult with a wye-connected load
because the neutral may not be accessible. On the other hand, delta connected sources are not
common in practice because of the circulating current that will result in the delta-mesh if the
three-phase voltages are slightly unbalanced.
2.Deriving relation between line and phase voltages and currents in a star connection and
expression for power- (40 min)

Solution:

To derive the relations between line and phase currents and voltages of a star connected system,
we have first to draw a balanced star connected system.

Suppose due to load impedance the current lags the applied voltage in each phase of the system
by an angle ϕ. As we have considered that the system is perfectly balanced, the magnitude of
current and voltage of each phase is the same. Let us say, the magnitude of the voltage across the
red phase i.e. magnitude of the voltage between neutral point (N) and red phase terminal (R) is
VR.

239
Similarly, the magnitude of the voltage across yellow phase is VY and the magnitude of the
voltage across blue phase is VB. In the balanced star system, magnitude of phase voltage in each
phase is Vph.

∴ VR = VY = VB = Vph
We know in the star connection, line current is same as phase current. The magnitude of
this current is same in all three phases and say it is IL.

∴ IR = IY = IB = IL, Where, IR is line current of R phase, IY is line current of Y phase and IB is line
current of B phase. Again, phase current, Iph of each phase is same as line current IL in star
connected system.

∴ IR = IY = IB = IL = Iph.

Now, let us say, the voltage across R and Y terminal of the star connected circuit is VRY.
The voltage across Y and B terminal of the star connected circuit is VYB The voltage across B
and R terminal of the star connected circuit is VBR.

From the diagram, it is found that

VRY = VR + (− VY)

Similarly, VYB = VY + (− VB)

And, VBR = VB + (− VR)

Now, as angle between VR and VY is 120o(electrical),


the angle between VR and – VY is 180o – 120o = 60o(electrical).

Thus, for the star-connected system line voltage = √3 × phase voltage.


Line current = Phase current

As, the angle between voltage and current per phase is φ, the electric power per phase is

240
So the total power of three phase system is

3.Deriving relation between line and phase voltages and currents in delta or mesh
connection?

Solution:

In Delta (Δ) or Mesh connection, the finished terminal of one winding is connected to start
terminal of the other phase and so on which gives a closed circuit. The three line conductors are
run from the three junctions of the mesh called Line Conductors. The connection in Delta form is
shown in the figure below.

To obtain the Delta connections, a2 is connected with b1, b2 is connected with c1 and c2 is
connected with a1 as shown in the above figure. The three conductors R, Y and B are running
from the three junctions known as Line Conductors.

The current flowing through each phase is called Phase Current (Iph), and the current flowing
through each line conductor is called Line Current (IL).

The voltage across each phase is called Phase Voltage (Eph), and the voltage across two line
conductors is called Line Voltage (EL).

Relation Between Phase Voltage and Line Voltage in Delta Connection

To understand the relationship between the phase voltage and line voltage in the Delta consider
the figure A shown below.

241
t is clear from the figure that the voltage across terminals 1 and 2 is the same as across the
terminals R and Y. Therefore,

Similarly,

Delta Connection in a 3 Phase System

In Delta (Δ) or Mesh connection, the finished terminal of one winding is connected to start
terminal of the other phase and so on which gives a closed circuit. The three line conductors are
run from the three junctions of the mesh called Line Conductors. The connection in Delta form is
shown in the figure below.

242
To obtain the Delta connections, a2 is connected with b1, b2 is connected with c1 and c2 is
connected with a1 as shown in the above figure. The three conductors R, Y and B are running
from the three junctions known as Line Conductors.

The current flowing through each phase is called Phase Current (Iph), and the current flowing
through each line conductor is called Line Current (IL).

The voltage across each phase is called Phase Voltage (Eph), and the voltage across two line
conductors is called Line Voltage (EL).

Relation between Phase Voltage and Line Voltage in Delta Connection

To understand the relationship between the phase voltage and line voltage in the Delta consider
the figure A shown below.

243
It is clear from the figure that the voltage across terminals 1 and 2 is the same as across the
terminals R and Y. Therefore,

Similarly,

Where, the phase voltages are

The line voltages are

Hence, in Delta Connection Line Voltage is equal to Phase Voltage.

244
Relation between Phase Current and Line Current in Delta Connection

As in the balanced system the three phase current I12, I23 and I31 are equal in magnitude but are
displaced from one another by 120 degrees electrical.

The phasor diagram is shown below.

Hence,

If we look at figure A, it is seen that the current is divided at every junction 1, 2 and 3.

Applying Kirchhoff’s Law at junction 1

The Incoming currents are equal to outgoing currents.

And their vector difference will be given as

The vector I12 is reversed and is added in the vector I31 to get the vector sum of I31 and –I12 as
shown above in the phasor diagram. Therefore,

245
As we know, IR = IL, therefore,

Similarly,

Hence, in Delta connection line current is root three times of phase current.

4.Wright short notes on analysis of balanced and unbalanced 3 phase


circuits?

Solution:
Requirements of a Balanced 3-Phase Set
Following are the requirements that must be satisfied in order for a set of 3 sinusoidal variables
(usually voltages or currents) to be a "balanced 3-phase set"
All 3 variables have the same amplitude.
All 3 variables have the same frequency.
All 3 variables are 120o in phase.
In terms of the time domain, a set of balance 3-phase voltages has the following general form.
Va= Vmcos ( t+ )
Vb= Vmcos( t+ -120o)
246
Vc= Vmcos( t+ -240o)= Vmcos( t+ +120o)
Notice that we have assumed (and will continue to assume) positive (abc) phase sequence, i.e.,
phase "b" follows 120o behind "a" & phase "c" follows 120o behind phase "b"
Figure below illustrates the balanced 3-phase voltages in time domain.

Figure: Balanced 3-Phase Variables in Time Domain

In terms of phasors, we write the same balanced set as follows. Note that the phasors are in
rms.
Va=Vm ˚
Vb=Vm -120o
Vc=Vm -240o=Vm +120o
Thus,
Vb=Va -120o, and Vc=Va +120o
Figure below illustrates the balanced 3-phase phasor graphically.

Requirements of a Balanced 3-Phase Circuit
Following are the requirements that must be satisfied in order for a 3-phase system or circuit to
be balanced
All 3 sources are represented by a set of balanced 3-phase variables
All loads are 3-phase with equal impedances
Line impedances are equal in all 3 phases
Having a balanced circuit allows for simplified analysis of the 3-phase circuit. In fact, if the
circuit is balanced, we can solve for the voltages, currents, and powers, etc. in one phase using
247
circuit analysis. The values of the corresponding variables in the other two phases can be found
using some basic equations. This type of solution is accomplished using a "one-line diagram",
which will be discussed later. If the circuit is not balanced, all three phases should be analyzed
in detail.

This chapter would be incomplete without mentioning unbalanced three phase systems. An
unbalanced system is caused by two possible situations: (1) the source voltages are not equal in
magnitude and/or differ in phase by angles that are unequal, or (2) load impedances are unequal.
Thus,
An unbalanced systemis due to unbalanced voltage sources or an unbalanced load.

Unbalanced three-phase systems are solved by direct application of mesh and nodal analysis.

Figure shows an example of an unbalanced three-phase system that consists of balanced source
voltages (notshown in the figure) and an unbalanced Y-connected load (shown in the figure).
Since the load is unbalanced, ZA, ZB, and ZC are not equal. The line currents are determined by
Ohm’s law asIa=VAN/ZA, Ib=VBN/ZB, Ic=VCN/ZC
This set of unbalanced line currents produces current in the neutral line, which is not zero as in a
balanced system. Applying KCL at node N gives the neutral line current as In=−(Ia+Ib+Ic)
In a three-wire system where the neutral line is absent, we can still find the line currents Ia, Ib,
and Icusing mesh analysis. At node N, KCL must be satisfied so that Ia+Ib+Ic= 0 in this case. The
248
same could be done for a -Y, Y-, or -three-wire system. As mentioned earlier, in long
distance power transmission, conductors in multiples of three (multiple three-wire systems) are
used, with the earth itself acting as the neutral conductor.

To calculate power in an unbalanced three-phase system requires that we find the power in each
phase using above Equations. The total power is not simply three times the power in one phase
but the sum of the powers in the three phases.

5.Discuss the different methods to measure the 3 phase active and power?

Solution:
3-Phase Power:
The 3-phase (3 ) power of a circuit is simply the sum of the power in the three individual phases.
Thus for a Wye circuit, the equation is
S3 = Sa + Sb + Sc
and for a Delta circuit, the equation is
S3 = Sab + Sbc + Sca
Another advantage of having a balanced circuit is that each phase has the same power.
That is,
S = Sab = Sbc = Sca = Sa = Sb = Sc
so that,
S3 = 3 S = 3 Sab = 3 Sa

Just in case you didn't know, right now you should be thinking "This is very cool!"
The single phase power can be found using either
S = Va Ia* or S = Vab Iab*
We can do some interesting rearrangements to get the power in terms of the line voltage (Vab)
and line current (Ia) only.

S = Va Ia* = |Va| | Ia|* = {|Vab| / }| Ia| =S


Thus, S3 = 3 S
Note:
In balanced systems, all the S 's and S3 have the same power factor (pf) and thus the same

power factor angle = impedance angle. .

If Xa, Xb, and Xc are a balanced set,


Xb = Xa (1 -120o) , and
Xc = Xa (1 +120o)
In general,
S3 = Sa + Sb + Sc
S3 = Sab + Sbc + Sca
For a balanced system,
S3 = 3 S
S = Va Ia*
S = Vab Iab*
249
For the balanced and positive sequence case,
Vab = Va 30o
Ia = IAB -30o
Various methods are used measurement of three phase power in three phase circuits on the basis
of number of wattmeter used.
We have three methods:
4. Measurement of Three Phase Power by Three Wattmeters Method

The circuit diagram is shown below-

Here, it is applied to three phase four wire systems, current coil of all the three wattmeters
marked as one, two and three are connected to respective phases marked as one, two and three.
Pressure coils of all the three wattmeter are connected to common point at neutral line. Clearly
each wattmeter will give reading as product of phase current and line voltage which is phase
power. The resultant sum of all the readings of wattmeter will give the total power of the circuit.
Mathematically we can

5. Measurement of Three Phase Power by Two Wattmeters Method

In this method we have two types of connections: Star connection of loads and
Delta connection of loads.
When the star connected load, the diagram is shown in below-

250
For star connected load clearly the reading of wattmeter one is product phase current and voltage
difference (V2-V3). Similarly the reading of wattmeter two is the product of phase current and
the voltage difference (V2-V3). Thus the total power of the circuit is sum of the reading of both
the wattmeters.
Mathematically we can write

but we have ,
Hence putting the value of .

We get total power as .

When delta connected load, the diagram is shown in below

The reading of wattmeter one can be written as


and
reading of wattmeter two is

But
,
Hence expression for total power will reduce to

1. What is transient analysis?


The transient analysis is always used when you want to view a graph of a voltage or current as a
function of time. Even if the voltages are DC as in the previous tutorials, transient analysis must be used
to view a graph of the output versus time.

2. What is transient structural analysis?


Transient dynamic analysis (sometimes called time-history analysis) is a technique used to
determine the dynamic response of a structure under the action of any general time-dependent loads.

251
3.What is transient in circuit
In electrical engineering, oscillation is an effect caused by a transient response of a circuit or
system. It is a momentary event preceding the steady state (electronics) during a sudden change of
a circuit. Mathematically, it can be modeled as a damped harmonic oscillator

4. What is a transient effect?


Transient Effects in Conditional Mean Model Simulations. When you use automatically
generated preamble data, you often see some transient effects at the beginning of the simulation. This is
sometimes called a burn-in period. For stationary processes, the impulse response function decays to zero
over time

5. What causes a transient voltage?

1. Derive the expression for transient response of R-L series circuit for dc excitation?

Solution:

DC Response of an R-L Circuit:

Consider a circuit consisting of a resistance and inductance as shown in fig. the inductor in the
circuit is initially uncharged and is in series with the resistor. When switch S is closed, we can
find the complete solution for current. Application of Kirchhoff’s law to the circuit results in
following differential equations.

In the above equation, the current i is the solution to be found and V is the applied constant
voltage. The voltage V is applied to the circuit only when the switch S is closed. The above
equation is linear differential equation of the first order comparing with the non homogenous
differential equation

Where c is an arbitrary constant,


in similar way we can write the current equation as

254
To determine the value of ‘c’, in equation (5) we use initial conditions. In the circuit shown in fig
the switch S is closed at t=0. At t=0–, i.e. just before closing the switch S, the current in the
inductor is zero. Since the inductor does not allow sudden changes in currents, at t=0+ just after
the switch is closed, the current remains zero.
Substituting above conditions we get,
0 = c +(V/R)
Therefore, c = -V/R

Hence from equation

Above equation consists of two parts, the steady state part (V/R) and other is transient part.

After 5, the transient part reaches more than 99 percent of its final value. In fig we can find out
the voltages and powers across each element by using the current.

determine the differential equations.

By differentiating the above equation we get,

Equation is linear differential equation with only the complementary function. The particular
solution for the above equation is zero. The solution for this type of differential equation is

Here, to find the value of c, we use the initial conditions. In the circuit shown in fig switch S is
closed at t=0. Since the capacitor never allows sudden changes in voltage, it will act as short at
t=0+. So, the current in the circuit at t=0+ is V/R.
Substituting the i value in equation we get,

When switch S is closed, the response decays with time as shown in fig. In the solution, the
quantity RC is the time constant, and is denoted by r, where r= RC seconds.

1.Explain the concept of poles, zeros, their significance and necessary conditions for
driving point functions and transfer functions?

Solution:
271
System Poles and Zeros:
The transfer function provides a basis for determining important system response characteristics
without solving the complete differential equation. As defined, the transfer function is a rational
function in the complex variable s = σ + jω, that is

It is often convenient to factor the polynomials in the numerator and denominator, and to write
the transfer function in terms of those factors

Where the numerator and denominator polynomials, N(s) and D(s), have real coefficients defined
by the system’s differential equation and K = bm/an. As written in Eq. (2) the zi’s are the roots
of the equation
N(s) =0
and are defined to be the system zeros, and the pi’s are the roots of the equation
D(s) = 0,
and are defined to be the system poles. In Eq. (2) the factors in the numerator and denominator
are written so that when s = zi the numerator N(s) = 0 and the transfer function vanishes, that is

and similarly when s = pi the denominator polynomial D(s) = 0 and the value of the transfer
function becomes unbounded,

All of the coefficients of polynomials N(s) and D(s) are real, therefore the poles and zeros must
be either purely real, or appear in complex conjugate pairs. In general for the poles, either pi=σi,
or else pi, pi+1 = σi+jωi. The existence of a single complex pole without a corresponding
conjugate pole would generate complex coefficients in the polynomial D(s). Similarly, the
system zeros are either real or appear in complex conjugate pairs.

272
A system is characterized by its poles and zeros in the sense that they allow reconstruction of the
input/output differential equation. In general, the poles and zeros of a transfer function may be
complex, and the system dynamics may be represented graphically by plotting their locations on
the complex s-plane, whose axes represent the real and imaginary parts of the complex variable
s. Such plots are known as pole-zero plots. It is usual to mark a zero location by a circle (◦) and a
pole location a cross (×). The location of the poles and zeros provide qualitative insights into the
response characteristics of a system
System Stability: The stability of a linear system may be determined directly from its transfer
function. An nth order linear system is asymptotically stable only if all of the components in the
homogeneous response from a finite set of initial conditions decay to zero as time increases, or

Where the pi are the system poles. In a stable system all components of the homogeneous
response must decay to zero as time increases. If any pole has a positive real part there is a
component in the output that increases without bound, causing the system to be unstable.
In order for a linear system to be stable, all of its poles must have negative real parts that are they
must all lie within the left-half of the s-plane. An unstable pole, lying in the right half of the s-
plane, generates a component in the system homogeneous response that increases without bound
from any finite initial conditions.
A system having one or more poles lying on the imaginary axis of the s-plane has non-decaying
oscillatory components in its homogeneous response, and is defined to be marginally stable.
Properties of Driving Point (Positive Real) Functions:
These conditions are required to satisfy to be positive realness:
➢ Y(s) must be a rational function in s with real coefficients, i.e., the coefficients of
the numerator and denominator polynomials is real and positive.

➢ The poles and zeros of Y(s) have either negative or zero real parts, i.e., Y(s) not have
poles or zeros in the right half s plane.

➢ Poles of Y(s) on the imaginary axis must be simple and their residues must be real and
positive, i.e., Y(s) not has multiple poles or zeros on the jω axis. The same statement
applies to the poles of l/Y(s).

➢ The degrees of the numerator and denominator polynomials in Y(s) differ at most by 1.
Thus the number of finite poles and finite zeros of Y(s) differ at most by 1.
273
➢ The terms of lowest degree in the numerator and denominator polynomials of
Y(s) differ in degree at most by 1. So Y(s) has neither multiple poles nor zeros at the
origin.

➢ There are no missing terms in numerator and denominator polynomials unless all even or
all odd terms are missing.

2.What is two-port network? Obtain the Z, Y, Hybrid and ABCD parameters?

Solution:

A network containing two pairs of terminals is called as two port network.

Normally one pair of terminals coming together to supply power or to withdraw power or to
measure the parameters, are called as port. To achieve simplicity, the whole network is shown
with a single block.

A typical two port network is as shown below in fig (a)

Z-parameters can be defined by the following equations


V1 = Z11I1 + Z12I2 …………………… (1)
V2 = Z21I1 + Z22I2 …………………… (2)
In Matrix form:

If port 2-21is open circuited, i.e., I2 = 0, then Z11 = V1/I1 & Z21 = V2/I1
If port 1-11is open circuited, i.e., I1 = 0, then Z12 = V1/I2 & Z22 = V2/I2

Here, Z11 is the driving point impedance at port 1-11with 2-21open circuited. It can also be
called as open circuit input impedance.
Z21 is the transfer impedance at port 1-11with 2-21 open circuited. It can also be called as open
circuit forward transfer impedance.
Z12 is the transfer impedance at port 2-21 with 1-11open circuited. It can also be called as open
circuit reverse transfer impedance and

274
Z22 is the driving point impedance at port 2-21 with 1-11open circuited. It can also be called as
open circuit output impedance.
Network is
a) Reciprocal then V1/I2 (where I1 = 0) = V2/I1 (where I2 = 0) i.e., Z12 = Z21
b) Symmetrical then V1/I1 (where I2 = 0) = V2/I2 (where I1 = 0) i.e., Z11 = Z22
SHORT CIRCUIT ADMITTANCE PARAMETERS (Y-parameters):

Y-parameters can be defined by the following equations


I1 = Y11V1 + Y12V2 ………………. (1)
I2 = Y21V1 + Y22V2 ………………. (2)
In matrix form

If port 2-21is short circuited, i.e. V2 = 0 then Y11 = I1/V1 & Y21 = I2/V1
If port 1-11is short circuited, i.e. V1 = 0 then Y12 = I1/V2 & Y22 = I2/V2

If the network is
a) Reciprocal then I2/V1 (where V2 = 0) = I1/V2 (where V1 = 0) i.e. Y21 = Y12
b) Symmetrical then I1/ V1 (where V2 = 0) = I2/ V2 (where V1 = 0) i.e. Y11 = Y22

Hybrid Parameters (h-Parameters):

h-parameters can be defined by the following equations

In matrix form:

If port 2-21is short circuited, i.e. V2 = 0 then

h11 is called input impedance and h21 is called forward current gain.
275
If port 1-11is open circuited, i.e., I1=0 then

h22 is called output admittance and h12 is called reverse voltage gain.

ABCD Parameters:

ABCD parameters can be defined by the following equations

In matrix form

If port 2-21is open circuited i.e., I2=0 then

A is called reverse voltage ratio and C is known as transfer admittance.


If port 2-21is short circuited i.e., V2=0 then

B is called transfer impedance and D is called reverse current ratio.

3.Briefly discuss about network functions and network parameters?


Solution:
A network function is the Laplace transform of an impulse response. Its format is a ratio of two
polynomials of the complex frequencies. Consider the general two-port network shown in Figure
a. The terminal voltages and currents of the two-port can be related by two classes of network
functions, namely, the driving point functions and the transfer functions.

276
The driving point functions relate the voltage at a port to the current at the same port. Thus,
these functions are a property of a single port. For the input port the driving point impedance
function ZIN(s) is defined as
ZIN(s)=VIN(s)/IIN(s)
This function can be measured by observing the current IIN when the input port is driven by a
voltage source VIN. The driving point admittance function YIN(s) is the reciprocal of the
impedance function, and is given by

The output port driving point functions are denned in a similar way. The transfer
functions of the two-port relate the voltage (or current) at one port to the voltage (or
current) at the other port. The possible forms of transfer functions are:
6. The voltage transfer function, which is a ratio of one voltage to another voltage.
7. The current transfer function, which is a ratio of one current to another current.
8. The transfer impedance function, which is the ratio of a voltage to a current.
9. The transfer admittance function, which is the ratio of a current to a voltage.
The voltage transfer functions are defined with the output port an open circuit, as:

To evaluate the voltage gain, for example, the output voltage VO is measured with the input port
driven by a voltage source VIN. The other three types of transfer functions can be defined in a
similar manner. Of the four types of transfer functions, the voltage transfer function is the one
most often specified in the design of filters

The functions defined above, when realized using resistors, inductors, capacitors, and
active devices, can be shown to be the ratios of polynomials in s with real coefficients. This is
so because the network functions are obtained by solving simple algebraic node equations, which
involve at most the terms R, sL, sC and their reciprocals. The active device, if one exists, the
solution still involves only the addition and multiplication of simple terms, which can only lead
to a ratio of polynomials in s. In addition, all the coefficients of the numerator and denominator
polynomials will be real.
Thus, the general form of a network function is

and all the coefficients ai and bi are real. If the numerator and denominator polynomials are
factored, an alternate form of H(s) is obtained:

Where z1, z2, ..., zn are called the zeros of H(s), because H(s) = 0 when s = zi. The roots of
the denominator pl, p2, ..., pm are called the poles of H(s). It can be seen that H(s) = ∞ at
the poles, s = pi.

The poles and zeros can be plotted on the complex s plane (s = σ + jω), which has the real
part σ for the abscissa, and the imaginary part jω for the ordinate.

Properties of all Network Functions:

A consequence of this property is that complex poles (and zeros) must occur in conjugate
pairs. To demonstrate this fact consider a complex root at (s=-a–jb) which leads to the factor
(s+a+jb) in the network function. The jb term will make some of the coefficients complex in

278
the polynomial, unless the conjugate of the complex root at (s=-a+jb) is also present in the
polynomial. The product of a complex factor and its conjugate is which can be seen
to have real coefficients.

Further important properties of network functions are obtained by restricting the networks to
be stable, by which we mean that a bounded input excitation to the network must yield a
bounded response. Put differently, the output of a stable network cannot be made to increase
indefinitely by the application of a bounded input excitation. Passive networks are stable by
their very nature, since they do not contain energy sources that might inject additional energy
into the network. Active networks, however, do contain energy sources that could join
forces with the input excitation to make the output increase indefinitely. Such
unstable networks, however, have no use in the world of practical filters and are therefore
precluded from all our future discussions .

1. What is a low pass filter?

A low-pass filter (LPF) is a filter that passes signals with a frequency lower than a certain cutoff
frequency and attenuates signals with frequencies higher than the cutoff frequency. ... The filter is
sometimes called a high-cut filter or treble-cut filter in audio applications

2. What is a high pass filter?


A high-pass filter is a filter that passes high frequencies well, but attenuates
(Reduces the amplitude of) frequencies lower than the cutoff frequency.

3. What is the difference between low pass and high pass filters
A high-pass filter allows signals from a certain frequency and higher to pass-through. So, a low-
pass filter blocks what a high-pass filter allows, if their cutoff frequency is same. ... In a wave there are
two type of frequency called high and low frequency..

4. Give the applications of filter.


High-pass and low-pass filters are also used in digital image processing to perform
Transformations in the spatial frequency domain.
Most high-pass filters have zero gain (-inf dB) at DC. Such a high-pass filter with
very low cutoff frequency can be used to block DC from a signal that is undesired
in that signal (and pass nearly everything else). These are sometimes called DC
Blocking filters.

1. Wright short notes on filters?

Solution:
The concept of filters has been an integral part of the evolution of electrical engineering from the
beginning.
A filter is a circuit that is designed to pass signals with desired frequencies and reject or attenuate
others.
As a frequency-selective device, a filter can be used to limit the frequency spectrum of a signal
to some specified band of frequencies. Filters are the
Circuits used in radio and TV receivers to allow us to select one desired signal out of a multitude
of broadcast signals in the environment. A filter is a passive filter if it consists of only passive
elements R, L, and C. It is said to be an active filter if it consists of active elements (such as
transistors and op amps) in addition to passive elements R, L, and C. There are other kinds of
filters—such as digital filters, electromechanical filters, and microwave filters—which are
beyond the level of the text. As shown in Fig. , there are four types of filters whether passive or
active:
1. A low pass filter passes low frequencies and stops high frequencies, as shown ideally in Fig.
(a).
2. A high pass filter passes high frequencies and rejects low frequencies, as shown ideally in Fig.
(b).
3. A band pass filter passes frequencies within a frequency band and blocks or attenuates
frequencies outside the band, as shown ideally in Fig. (c).
4. A band stop filter passes frequencies outside a frequency band and blocks or attenuates
frequencies within the band, as shown ideally in Fig. (d).

284
2. Discuss the following terms?
a) Low pass filter
b) High pass filter

Solution:
Low pass Filter:

A typical low pass filter is formed when the output of an RC circuit is taken off the capacitor as
shown in Fig... The transfer function is

Note that H (0) = 1, H (∞) = 0. Figure shows the plot of |H (ω)|, along with the ideal
characteristic. The half-power frequency, which is equivalent to the corner frequency on the
Bode plots but in the context of filters is usually known as the cutoff frequency ωc, is obtained
by setting the magnitude of H(ω) equal to 1/√2, thus

285
The cutoff frequency is the frequency at which the transfer function H drops in magnitude to
70.71% of its maximum value. It is also regarded as the frequency at which the power dissipated
in a circuit is half of its maximum value.

The cut-off frequency is also called the roll off frequency.

A low pass filter is designed to pass only frequencies from dc up to the cutoff frequency ωc.

A low pass filter can also be formed when the output of an RL circuit is taken off the resistor. Of
course, there are many other circuits for low pass filters.

High pass Filter:


A high pass filter is formed when the output of an RC circuit is taken off the resistor as shown in
Fig. The transfer function is

286
Note that H (0) = 0, H (∞) = 1. Figure shows the plot of |H (ω)|. Again, the corner or cutoff
frequency is

A high pass filter is designed to pass all frequencies above its cutoff frequency ωc.

A high pass filter can also be formed when the output of an RL circuit is taken off the inductor.

3. Explain about band pass and band reject filters?

Solution:
287
Band pass Filter:
The RLC series resonant circuit provides a band pass filter when the output is taken off the
resistor as shown in Fig. The transfer function is

We observe that H (0) = 0, H (∞) = 0. Figure 14.36 shows the plot of |H (ω)|. The band pass filter
passes a band of frequencies (ω1 < ω < ω2) centered on ω0, the center frequency, which is given
by

A band pass filter is designed to pass all frequencies within a band of frequencies, ω1 < ω < ω2.
Since the band pass filter in Fig is a series resonant circuit, the half power frequencies, the
bandwidth, and the quality factor are determined as in Section. A band pass filter can also be
formed by cascading the low pass filter (where ω2 = ωc) with the high pass filter (where ω1 =
ωc).
288
Band stop Filter:
Filter that prevents a band of frequencies between two designated values (ω1 and ω2) from
passing is variably known as a band stop, band reject, or notch filter. A band stop filter is formed
when the output RLC series resonant circuit is taken off the LC series combination as shown in
Fig. The transfer function is

Notice that H (0) = 1, H(∞) = 1. Figure shows the plot of |H (ω)|. Again, the center frequency is
given by

While the half-power frequencies, the bandwidth, and the quality factor is calculated using the
formulas in Section for a series resonant circuit. Here, ω0 is called the frequency of rejection,
while the corresponding bandwidth (B = ω2 −ω1) is known as the bandwidth of rejection. Thus,

289
A band stop filter is designed to stop or eliminate all frequencies within a band of frequencies,
ω1 < ω < ω2.

4. What is constant K filter?


Solution:
In constant k filters, z1 and z2 are opposite type of reactances.

z1z2 = k2

Where k is a constant independent of frequency.


There are two types of constant k type filters:
(i) constant k low pass filter
(ii) constant k high pass filter

Figure shows constant k low pass filter.

Let

Determination of pass band and stop band:


(i) when

290
(ii) when

The passband starts at f = 0 and continues up to fC, the cutoff frequency. All the frequencies
above.

291
Cut off frequency fC are in the attenuation or stop band. Thus, the network is called a low-pass
filter.

We also know that in the pass band

In the attenuation band,

292
The variation of a and b is plotted in the Fig.

The attenuation is zero throughout the pass band but increases gradually from the cutoff
frequency. The phase shift b is zero at zero frequency and increases gradually through the pass
band, reaches p at cutoff frequency fC. It remains at p for all frequencies beyond fC.
Determination of characteristic impedance:
The characteristic impedance of low pass filter will be given by

293
The plots of characteristic impedance are shown in Fig.

z0T is real when f < fC i.e. in the pass band. If f = fC, z0T = 0 and for f > fC, z0T is imaginary in the
attenuation band, rising to infinite reactance at infinite frequency.
z0p is real when f < fC. If f = fC, z0p is finite and for f > fC, z0p is imaginary.

Constant k high pass filter is obtained by changing the positions of series and shunt arms of the
constant k low pass filter. Figure shows a constant k high pass filter.

294
Let

Determination of pass band and stop band:

(i) when

(ii) when

295
The reactances z1 and z2 are shown in Fig.

The filter passes all the frequency beyond fC. All frequencies below the cutoff frequency lie in
attenuation or stop band. Hence the network is called a high pass filter.

5. Briefly discuss about m-derived filters?

Solution:

m-derived filters or m-type filters are a type of electronic filter designed using the image method.
They were invented by Otto Zobel in the early 1920s. This filter type was originally intended for
use with telephone multiplexing and was an improvement on the existing constant k type
filter. The main problem being addressed was the need to achieve a better match of the filter into
the terminating impedances. In general, all filters designed by the image method fail to give an
296
exact match, but the m-type filter is a big improvement with suitable choice of the parameter m.
The m-type filter section has a further advantage in that there is a rapid transition from the cut-
off frequency of the pass band to a pole of attenuation just inside the stop band. Despite these
advantages, there is a drawback with m-type filters; at frequencies past the pole of attenuation,
the response starts to rise again, and m-types have poor stop band rejection. For this reason,
filters designed using m-type sections are often designed as composite filters with a mixture of k-
type and m-type sections and different values of m at different points to get the optimum
performance from both types

The building block of m-derived filters, as with all image impedance filters, is the "L" network,
called a half-section and composed of a series impedance Z, and a shunt admittance Y. The m-
derived filter is a derivative of the constant k filter. The starting point of the design is the values
of Z and Y derived from the constant k prototype and are given by

Where k is the nominal impedance of the filter, or R0. The designer now multiplies Z and Y by
an arbitrary constant m (0 < m < 1). There are two different kinds of m-derived section; series
and shunt. To obtain the m-derived series half section, the designer determines the impedance
that must be added to 1/mY to make the image impedance ZiT the same as the image impedance
of the original constant k section. From the general formula for image impedance, the additional
impedance required can be shown to be

To obtain the m-derived shunt half section, an admittance is added to 1/mZ to make the image
impedance ZiΠ the same as the image impedance of the original half section. The additional
admittance required can be shown to be

The general arrangements of these circuits are shown in the diagrams to the right along with a
specific example of a low pass section.

297
A consequence of this design is that the m-derived half section will match a k-type section on
one side only. Also, an m-type section of one value of m will not match another m-type section
of another value of m except on the sides which offer the Zi of the k-type

Operating frequency

For the low-pass half section shown, the cut-off frequency of the m-type is the same as the k-
type and is given by

The pole of attenuation occurs at;

From this it is clear that smaller values of m will produce closer to the cut-off frequency and
hence will have a sharper cut-off. Despite this cut-off, it also brings the unwanted stop band
response of the m-type closer to the cut-off frequency, making it more difficult for this to be
filtered with subsequent sections. The value of m chosen is usually a compromise between these
conflicting requirements. There is also a practical limit to how small m can be made due to the
inherent resistance of the inductors. This has the effect of causing the pole of attenuation to be
less deep and the slope of cut-off to be less steep. This effect becomes more marked as is brought
closer to , and there ceases to be any improvement in response with an m of about 0.2 or less

Image impedance
The following expressions for image impedances are all referenced to the low-pass prototype
section. They are scaled to the nominal impedance R0 = 1, and the frequencies in those
expressions are all scaled to the cut-off frequency ωc = 1.

Series sections

The image impedances of the series section are given by

298
and is the same as that of the constant k section

Shunt sections

The image impedances of the shunt section are given by

and is the same as that of the constant k section

As with the k-type section, the image impedance of the m-type low-pass section is purely real
below the cut-off frequency and purely imaginary above it. From the chart it can be seen that in
the pass band the closest impedance match to a constant pure resistance termination occurs at
approximately m = 0.6

Transmission parameters
For an m-derived section in general the transmission parameters for a half-section are given by

and for n half-sections

For the particular example of the low-pass L section, the transmission parameters solve
differently in three frequency bands.

299
For the transmission is lossless:

For the transmission parameters are

The Effect of Symmetry on the Fourier Coefficients

The Effect of Symmetry

1. Even-function symmetry
2. Odd-function symmetry
3. Half-wave symmetry
4. Quarter-wave symmetry

Even-Function Symmetry
A function is defined to be even if and only if
f(t) = f(-t) 1.1
If a function satisfies Eq. 1.1, then it is said to be even because polynomial functions with
only even exponents have this type of behavior. For any even periodic functions, the equations for the
Fourier coefficients simplify to the following:

av=2T∫T/20f(t)dt.av=2T∫0T/2f(t)dt.
(1.2)
ak=4T∫T/20f(t)coskω0tdt.ak=4T∫0T/2f(t)cos⁡kω0tdt.
(1.3)
bk=0bk=0
for all k (1.4)

Noting for Eq. 1.4, that all b coefficients are zero if the function is even. Below, Fig. 1.1 depicts an
even periodic function. The two derivatives below follow exactly from Eq. 1.2 - 1.4. Through each
derivation,
t0=−T/2t0=−T/2
is selected and then we break the interval of integration into the range from -T/2 to 0 and 0 to T/2, or as
follows

av=1T∫T/2−T/2f(t)dtav=1T∫−T/2T/2f(t)dt
=1T∫0−T/2f(t)dt+∫T/20f(t)dt.=1T∫−T/20f(t)dt+∫0T/2f(t)dt.
(1.5)

314
Figure 1.1 Even function of f(t) = f(-t)

Now, the variable of integration must be changed in the first integral on the right-hand side of Eq. 1.5.
Particularly, we can let t = - x and observe that f(t) = f(-x) = f(x) due to the fact that the function is even.
Also noting that x = T/2 when t = - T/2 and dt = -dx. Thus

∫0−T/2f(t)dt=∫0T/2f(x)(−dx)=∫T/20f(x)dx.∫−T/20f(t)dt=∫T/20f(x)(−dx)=∫0T/2f(x)dx.
(1.6)

which does show that integrating from -T/2 to 0 is the same as integrating from 0 to T/2. Thus Eq. 1.5
is the same as Eq. 1.2. Deriving Eq. 1.3 can be completed as follows:

ak=2T∫0−T/2f(t)coskω0tdt+2T∫T/20coskω0tdtak=2T∫−T/20f(t)cos⁡kω0tdt+2T∫0T/2cos⁡kω0tdt
(1.7)
however
∫0−T/2f(t)coskω0tdt=∫0T/2f(x)cos(−kω0x)(−dx)∫−T/20f(t)cos⁡kω0tdt=∫T/20f(x)cos⁡(−kω0x)(−dx)
=−∫T/20f(x)coskω0xdx.=−∫0T/2f(x)cos⁡kω0xdx.
(1.8)

Similarly, as before, integrating from -T/2 to 0 is identical as integrating from 0 to T/2. By combining
Eq. 1.7 with Eq. 1.8, Eq. 1.3 is produced. After this, all the b coefficients are zero when f(t) is an even

315
periodic function, because integrating from -T/2 to 0 is the exact negative of the integration from 0
to T/2. Thus,

∫0−T/2f(t)sinkω0tdt=∫0T/2f(x)sin(−kω0x)(−dx)∫−T/20f(t)sin⁡kω0tdt=∫T/20f(x)sin⁡(−kω0x)(−dx)

=−∫T/20f(x)sinkω0xdx.=−∫0T/2f(x)sin⁡kω0xdx.
(1.9)

Now, if Eqs. 1.2 and 1.3 are used to find the Fourier coefficients, the integration interval must be
between 0 and T/2.

Odd-Function Symmetry
A periodic function is defined to be odd if
f(t) = -f(t) (1.10)
A Function that satisfies Eq. 1.10 is said to be odd due to the fact that polynomial functions with only
odd exponents behave this way. The expressions for the Fourier coefficients are as follows
av=0;av=0;
(1.11)
ak=0,ak=0,
for all k; (1.12)
bk=4T∫T/20f(t)sinkω0dt.bk=4T∫0T/2f(t)sin⁡kω0dt.
(1.13)

316
Figure 1.2

Looking at Eqs. 1.11 - 1.13, all the a coefficients are zero if the periodic function is odd. The figure
shown above illustrates an odd periodic function. The same method of derivation is used on Eqs. 1.11 -
1.13 as was used in the derivation of Eqs. 1.2 - 1.4.
The evenness (oddness) of a function can be dismantled by shifting the periodic function along the time
axis. Essentially this means that the wise choice of where t = 0 might give a function either odd or even
symmetry. For instance, the triangular function in Fig 1.3 (a) is not even or odd. Nevertheless, the
function can be made even, as illustrated in Fig 1.3 (b), or odd, as shown in Fig 1.3 (c).

Figure 1.3

Half-Wave Symmetry
A function is said to have half-wave symmetry if it satisfies the following constraint:
f(t) = -f(t - T/2) (1.14)
Equation 1.14 expresses that a periodic function has a half-wave symmetry if, after it has been
shifted by one-half of a period and inverted, it is said to be identical to the original periodic
function. For instance, the periodic functions illustrated in Figures 1.2 and 1.3 possess half-
317
wave symmetry, whereas those functions in Figures 1.4 and 1.5 do not possess such symmetry.
For t = 0, the half-wave symmetry does not exist as a function.
If a given function does possess a half-wave symmetry, both ak and bk are defined as zero for
an even value of k. Similarly, av is also zero due to the fact that an average value of a periodic
function with this symmetry is zero. Expressions for the Fourier coefficients are as follows:

av=0,av=0,
(1.15)
ak=0,ak=0,
for k even (1.16)
ak=4T∫T/20f(t)coskω0tdt,ak=4T∫0T/2f(t)cos⁡kω0tdt,
for k odd (1.17)
bk=0,bk=0,
for k even (1.18)
bk=4T∫T/20f(t)sinkω0tdt,bk=4T∫0T/2f(t)sin⁡kω0tdt,
for k odd (1.19)

The equations are derived from starting with Eqs 1.2 - 1.4 from the previous article, Learn
About Fourier Coefficients. An interval of integration from -T/2 to T/2 is chosen and then this
range is divided into the intervals -T/2 to 0 and 0 to T/2.

ak=2T∫t0+Tt0f(t)coskω0tdtak=2T∫t0t0+Tf(t)cos⁡kω0tdt
=2T∫T/2−T/2f(t)coskω0tdt=2T∫−T/2T/2f(t)cos⁡kω0tdt
=2T∫0−T/2f(t)coskω0tdt=2T∫−T/20f(t)cos⁡kω0tdt
+2T∫T/20f(t)coskω0tdt+2T∫0T/2f(t)cos⁡kω0tdt
(1.20)

From here, the variable in the first integral on the right-hand side is changed.
t = x - T/2
Then
x = T/2, if t = 0
x = 0, if t = -T/2;
dt = dx
Rewriting the first integral,
∫0−T/2f(t)coskω0tdt=∫T/20f(x−T/2)coskω0(x−T/2)dx∫−T/20f(t)cos⁡kω0tdt=∫0T/2f(x−T/2)cos⁡k
ω0(x−T/2)dx
(1.21)

318
Considering that
coskω0(x−T/2)=cos(kω0x−kπ)=coskπcoskω0xcos⁡kω0(x−T/2)=cos⁡(kω0x−kπ)=cos⁡kπcos⁡k
ω0x

and, by postulating,
f(x - T/2) = -f(Ix)
Thus Eq. 1.21 can now be written as
∫0−T/2f(t)coskω0tdt=∫T/20[−f(x)]coskω0tdt∫−T/20f(t)cos⁡kω0tdt=∫0T/2[−f(x)]cos⁡kω0tdt
(1.22)

By including Eq. 1.22 into Eq 1.20,


ak=2T(1−coskπ)∫T/20f(t)coskω0tdtak=2T(1−cos⁡kπ)∫0T/2f(t)cos⁡kω0tdt
(1.23)

However,
coskπcos⁡kπ
is equal to 1 if k is even and -1 if k is odd.
To summarize, the representation of the Fourier series of a periodic function with a half-wave
symmetry zero average value and only contains odd harmonics.

Quarter-Wave Symmetry
If a function has half-wave symmetry and symmetry about the midpoint of the
positive and negative half-cycles, the periodic function is said to have quarter--wave
symmetry. This function is illustrated in Figure 1.4; the function in Fig 1.4(a) is said to have
quarter-wave symmetry about the midpoint of the positive and negative half-cycles. The
function in Fig 1.4(b) does not have this symmetry, but it does have half-wave symmetry.

319
Figure 1.4
A function that possesses quarter-wave symmetry always can be made even or odd by
choosing where t = 0. For instance, the periodic function in Fig. 1.4(a) is odd and can be
turned into an even function by shifting over T/4 unites either left or right along the t-axis.
However, because the periodic function in Fig. 1.4(b) only possesses half-wave symmetry, it
cannot ever be made even or odd.
If the periodic function were to be made even, then

av=0,av=0,
due to half-wave symmetry
ak=0,ak=0,
for k even, due to half-wave symmetry
ak=8T∫T/40f(t)coskω0tdt,ak=8T∫0T/4f(t)cos⁡kω0tdt,
for k odd
bk=0,bk=0,
for all k, because the periodic function is even (1.24)

The above Eqs. 1.24 are the results from the periodic function's symmetry in addition to it
being even. If the quarter-wave symmetry is super-imposed on half-wave
symmetry, av and ak for k even can therefore be eliminated. Taking a look at the expression

320
for ak and k odd, Eq. 1.19 demonstrates that when combining a quarter-wave symmetry with
evenness, the range of integration shortens from 0 to T/2 to 0 to T/4.
If a quarter-wave symmetric periodic function is made odd,

av=0,av=0,
due to the function being odd
ak=0,ak=0,
for all k, due to the function being odd
bk=0,bk=0,
for k even, due to half-wae symmetry
bk=8T∫T/40f(t)sinkω0tdt,bk=8T∫0T/4f(t)sin⁡kω0tdt,
for k odd (1.25)

The above Eqs of 1.25 come consequently because of quarter-wave symmetry as well as
oddness. Similarly to the evenness, the quarter-wave symmetry allows for the interval of
integration from 0 to T/2 to 0 to T/4 to be shortened.

Coming Up
As of now, you should have a better understanding of the Fourier coefficients and the different
types of symmetry that can happen. These five types, even, odd, half-wave, quarter-wave half-
wave even, and quarter-wave half-wave odd are all used to simplify the computation of the
Fourier coefficients. A few topics that will be covered next will go in depth to find the steady-
state response of a linear circuit from a Fourier series, calculation average power with periodic
functions, as well as the rms value of such periodic functions.
