Passive AC Circuits: An Introduction to AC Power and Applications


Book Description

AC Circuits and Power Applications is an introductory engineering technology text covering single and three-phase alternating current (AC) power sources, components, connections and loads. Topical coverage includes introductory sinusoidal voltage and phase angle considerations; vector representation of alternating voltages; resistance, reactance, impedance and phase angle determination; single and polyphase transformer operation; polyphase power distribution; common residential and industrial load determination; Wye and Delta transformer connections; power transfer, power factor and power factor correction; balanced and unbalanced resistive and reactive load computations. Diodes, rectifier circuits, AC induction motors and variable frequency drive (VFD) control of induction motors are also investigated. An understanding of direct current (DC) electrical/electronic circuit theory and right-angle trigonometry is strongly suggested.

Magnetic circuits, reactor and transformer design are analyzed, as is the operation of step voltage regulators. In addition, detailed introductions are provided to earthing systems in LV and MV networks, the adverse effects of harmonics on power equipment and power system protection. Finally, European and American engineering standards are presented where appropriate throughout the text, to familiarize the reader with their use and application. This book is written as a practical power engineering text for engineering students and recent graduates. It contains more than 400 illustrations and is designed to provide the reader with a broad introduction to the subject and to facilitate further study. Many of the examples included come from industry and are not normally covered in undergraduate syllabi. They are provided to assist in bridging the gap between tertiary study and industrial practice, and to assist the professional development of recent graduates. The material presented is easy to follow and includes both mathematical and visual representations using phasor diagrams. Problems included at the end of most chapters are designed to walk the reader through practical applications of the associated theory.




Advanced AC Circuits and Electronics


Book Description

From the moment they open Advanced AC Electronics: Principles and Applications, readers will become actively involved in learning how to apply AC circuit techniques to electronics circuits that are interesting and actually do something useful! Rather than presenting AC electronics as a series of seemingly magical rules and incantations, this book integrates AC circuit theory tools with electronics, interweaves topics as needed, and introduces the use of circuit analysis tools on a just-in-time basis to support development of electronics circuits. It engages readers in applying circuit theory to a wide variety of passive and active electronics that respond to a sinusoidal signal with both a change in magnitude and a shift in the sine wave's phase. Immediately upon introduction, each technique is applied to a host of examples, including: commercial electrical power production and distribution, industrial motor performance and control, audio systems, instrumentation, radio frequency, and communications circuits. Motors, rf and audio cables, loudspeakers, thyristors, transition and op amp amplifiers are also introduced early on, capturing attention while guiding readers in their examination of real-world responses to sinusoids. Level and rigor make Advanced AC Electronics an ideal choice for programs accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
