1 AC Fundamentals: Sinusoidal periodic voltage/current signal, instantaneous and peak values, polar & rectangular form of representation of impedances and phasor quantities. Addition & subtraction of two or more phasors/ AC signals using component resolution method. RMS and average values of general, full wave and half wave rectified sinusoidal wave.
Concept of magnetic circuits: Fleming’s RH &LH Rule, RH Screw rule, Relation between MMF & Reluctance. Hysteresis& Eddy current phenomenon.
2 A.C. Circuits: Behavior of various components fed by A.C. source (steady state response of pure R, pure L, pure C, RL, RC, RLC series with waveforms of instantaneous power, voltage & current on simultaneous time axis scale and corresponding phasor diagrams), power factor, active, reactive & apparent/Complex power. Frequency response (Tuning) of RLC Series & standard Parallel (RL II C) ckts. including resonance, cut-off frequency & bandwidth. Generation of single phase AC (working of single coil dynamo with slip rings).
3 Balanced Three Phase Systems (qualitative analysis only): Generation of alternating 3- phase emf. Advantages of 3 phase over single phase power system, 3-phase balanced circuits and neutral point, derivation of voltage relations and current relations in star and delta connections.
Electrical Machines: Principles of generating and motoring.
4 Single Phase Transformer (qualitative analysis only): Basic Principle, construction & Phasor diagram at ideal, no load and on resistive load practical conditions. Types of Losses in transformers.
