Task Introduction -
You are a consultant electrical engineer. You have been asked by your line manager, Mithun, to analyse a series of AC networks and document your findings in a technical report.
Task 1 -
Part 1 - For the circuit below using Theveins theorem, determine:
(a) The value of R to provide maximum power to the load.
(b) The maximum power transferred in the load.
Part 2 - For the network shown below determine the current with phase angle and power dissipated in the load connected between A and B using Nortons transformation theorem.
Opportunity for Merit - Repeat Task 1 (Part1 and Part2) using an alternative circuit theorem. M1
Task 2 -
For the network below, show correct method of analysis in an attempt to determine the magnitude and phase angle of the currents I1, I2 and I3 using one of the following circuit analysis theorems.
Opportunity for Merit - Produce the same results for Task 2 using all three methods with a high degree of accuracy.
Opportunity for Distinction - Provide a table of results like the one below including simulated together with an explanation of any discrepancies D1
