Question

You are an electrical engineer in a manufacturing plant in which most processes have been automated. Your duties include the maintenance of the electrical and electronic systems installed in the plant. You are asked to analyze an electrical circuit that frequently malfunctions.

The following impedances are connected in parallel in the electric circuit.
Z1 = 4 + 9j
Z2 = 4 – 1
Z3 = 2 – 9j
If the equivalent impedance of the circuit is given by Z where
1 1

+
Z1' Z2' Z3
= -
i.
Find the equivalent impedance and express it in polar form.
ii.
Find the current I flowing in the circuit when a 230 V AC voltage source is connected to it,
where the current is given by.
V
I =-
iii.
Deduce the square apparent power P, = 1*z² of the circuit using de Moivre's theorem
where necessary.
iv.
Due to a malfunction in the power supply, it was found that the square apparent power P,
of the circuit dropped by half. Assuming that the impedance Z remained constant,
calculate the current I flowing in the circuit during the malfunction using the equation
given in part ii. Use de Moivre's theorem in your calculations where necessary.
