Text of the page (random words):
the tip of the vector is vertical it represents the positive peak value a max at 90 or π 2 and the negative peak value a max at 270 or 3 π 2 then the time axis of the waveform represents the angle either in degrees or radians through which the phasor has moved so we can say that a phasor represents a scaled voltage or current value of a rotating vector which is frozen at some point in time t and in our example above this is at an angle of 30 sometimes when we are analysing alternating waveforms we may need to know the position of the phasor representing the alternating quantity at some particular instant in time especially when we want to compare two different waveforms on the same axis for example voltage and current we have assumed in the waveform above that the waveform starts at time t 0 with a corresponding phase angle in either degrees or radians but if a second waveform starts to the left or to the right of this zero point or if we want to represent in phasor notation the relationship between the two waveforms then we will need to take into account this phase difference φ of the waveform consider the diagram below from the previous phase difference tutorial differentiation and integration edit the time derivative or integral of a phasor produces another phasor b for example re d d t a e i θ e i ω t re a e i θ i ω e i ω t re a e i θ e i π 2 ω e i ω t re ω

phasors which is not a phasor because it does not correspond to a sinusoidally varying function applications edit circuit laws edit with phasors the techniques for solving dc circuits can be applied to solve linear ac circuits a ohm s law for resistors a resistor has no time delays and therefore doesn t change the phase of a signal therefore v ir remains valid ohm s law for resistors inductors and capacitors v iz where z is the complex impedance kirchhoff s circuit laws work with voltages and current as complex phasors in an ac circuit we have real power p which is a representation of the average power into the circuit and reactive power q which indicates power flowing back and forth we can also define the complex power s p jq and the apparent power which is the magnitude of s the power law for an ac circuit expressed in phasors is then s vi where i is the complex conjugate of i and the magnitudes of the voltage and current phasors v and of i are the rms values of the voltage and current respectively given this we can apply the techniques of analysis of resistive circuits with phasors to analyze single frequency linear ac circuits containing resistors capacitors and inductors multiple frequency linear ac circuits and ac circuits with different waveforms can be analyzed to find voltages and currents by transforming all waveforms to sine wave components using fourier series with magnitude and phase then analyzing each frequency separately as allowed by the superposition theorem this solution method applies only to inputs that are sinusoidal and for solutions that are in steady state i e after all transients have died out 16 the concept is frequently involved in representing an electrical impedance in this case the phase angle is the phase difference between the voltage applied to the impedance and the current driven through it power engineering edit main article phasor measurement unit in analysis of three phase ac power systems usually a set of phasors is defined as the three complex cube roots of unity graphically represented as unit magnitudes at angles of 0 120 and 240 degrees by treating polyphase ac circuit quantities as phasors balanced circuits can be simplified and unbalanced circuits can be treated as an algebraic combination of symmetrical components this approach greatly simplifies the work required in electrical calculations of voltage drop power flow and short circuit currents in the context of power systems analysis the phase angle is often given in degrees and the magnitude in rms value rather than the peak amplitude of the sinusoid the technique of synchrophasors uses digital instruments to measure the phasors representing transmission system voltages at widespread points in a transmission
