TEL 102 - A C Analysis

Institution:

Delaware County Community College

Subject:

Electronics Technology

Description:

AC (Alternating Current) circuit analysis extends the basic concepts introduced in DC Analysis (TEL 101) to incorporate time-varying voltages and currents. The basic behavior of capacitors and inductors are introduced and series/parallel circuits driven by sinusoidal sources are analyzed using both phasors (vectors/complex numbers) and computer circuit analysis programs. Theoretical concepts are illustrated in the weekly two-hour lab sessions where various test equipment are used to measure experimentally the various characteristics of sinusoidal voltages and currents. Power (real, reactive, apparent) in various AC circuit configurations, including series/parallel resonance, is analyzed. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Convert circuit elements from time domain to phasor (complex) representation and from phasor back to time domain. Analyze currents and voltages in RL, RC, RLC circuits using phasors. Use a computer software analysis program to obtain various currents and voltages in RL, RC, and RLC circuits. Calculate reactive, apparent and real power in single phase and multiphase circuits. Analyze series and parallel resonant circuits. Analyze transformer circuits. Use various test equipment properly. Produce an accurate and neat laboratory report. Prerequisites: TEL 101 and MAT 111 4 Credits 3 Weekly Lecture Hours 2 Weekly Laboratory Hours
