DC Transient Analysis Types of Responses for RLC Circuits |
1. Overdamped (Z>1) 2. Critically-damped (Z=1) 3. Underdamped(Z<1) |
Based on Zeta |
|
|
Sequential Switching |
Occurs when a circuit changes states multiple times brought about by switches changing state at different moments in time. |
|
|
|
Steady-State |
The condition in which the variables defining the behavior of a system does not vary with respect to time. |
|
|
|
Transient State |
The condition in which the variables defining the behavior of a system varies with respect to time. |
|
|
|
Inductor |
Passive two-terminal device capable of storing electrical energy in the form of magnetic field. Resists any sudden changes in current. |
Also known as coil, reactor, or choke. |
|
|
Capacitor |
Passive two-terminal device capable of storing electrical energy in the form of electric field. |
Condenser |
|
|
Time Response |
The behavior of system variables with respect to time. |
Can be classified as forced, natural, or total response. |
|
|
Forced Response |
System's response to initiation transient with initial conditions set to zero. |
Step Response |
|
|
Natural Response |
System's response to subsidence transient with initial condition set to finite values. |
Transient Response |
|
|
Total Response |
The summation of forced and natural responses. |
|
|
|
Phasors |
Rotating vectors whose point is fixed at the origin and the other end is allowed to rotate with respect to the origin. |
|
|
|
Resonance |
A condition in which energy stored in the inductor and capacitor pulsates back and forth between two reactive elements. |
|
|
|
Quality Factor |
Ratio of the reactive power in either the inductor or capacitor to the average power dissipated by the resistor. A measure of stored energy as compared to dissipated energy during resonance. |
|
|
|
Polyphase System |
A method of delivering AC power by means of 3 or more active electrical conductors (phases) that carries alternating currents of the same magnitudes but with a definite time-offset. |
|
|
|
Phase Sequence |
The order in which the sinusoidal waveforms of the three phase/line voltages achieve their maximum/peak values. |
|
|
|
Blondel's Theorem |
Dictates the number of wattmeters needed to measure the total power of a system consisting of N number of conductors. |
