EXPERIMENT # 11
Power analysis of series RLC circuits (using PSpice)
Objectives

To demonstrate the parametric electrical relationships in series RLC circuits, and to


analyze phase relationships between different reactive elements.

Introduction

We know that when a sinusoidal voltage (of frequency f) is applied to a capacitor or an


inductor, the current leads or lags the applied voltage. It is reasonable, therefore, to assume that
the voltage, v(t), across the RLC circuit of Figure below is out of phase with the current and is
given by

Phasor Diagrams for RLC circuits:

The phasor diagrams for R, L, and C are shown in


Figure. The current I is the same in each circuit
element, it is placed along the x-axis in each graph.
You should understand that this is true only at a
particular instant, since the phasors rotate
counterclockwise. However, the I phasor of each
series circuit graph will always point in the same
direction since i(t) must be the same for each

element.

Power Triangle for RLC circuits:

The apparent power can similarly be


broken down into components. Figure
shows a power triangle for a resistive,
inductive and capacitive circuit. If the
circuit contains capacitive and
inductive elements, whether the
reactive power leads or lags will
depend on the balance between the
capacitive and inductive reactances.
Procedure

1. Construct the circuits as illustrated in following figures in PSpice.


2. Choose 3 random values for R, L and C (like R=100,1k, 10k, L=0.1m, 1m, 10m, C=0.1µ,
1µ, 10µ).
3. For RC circuits, set source frequency as 1 kHz, 100 kHz for RL circuits and 10 kHz for
RLC circuits.
4. Choose Transient Analysis and put suitable values for time range.

5. Depending on the circuit, vary one component’s value (3 values) while keeping the other
components’ values constant and find the required quantity as mentioned in the table.
6. Repeat step 5 for remaining components in the circuit, varying the other component’s
values while keeping others constant.
7. Repeat the procedure for all circuits and complete their respective tables
a) Series RL Circuit
In series circuits we know that the current is same through each component. However voltage
drop across each component depends upon their relative opposition to the flow of charge known
as impedance (Z). In inductive AC circuits voltage always lead current so a series RL circuit it is
expressed as:

V  VR 2  VL 2  IR    IX L 

V  R2  X 2 V

V V L

b) Series RC circuit

Similar relationships hold for AC series RC circuits. In capacitive AC circuits voltage always lag
current so potential relationship in a series RC circuit it is expressed as:

V  VR2  (VC )2 V  ( IR) 2  ( IX C ) 2

V V XC
