A shunt is a device that is designed to provide a low-resistance path for an electrical current in a circuit. It is typically used to divert current away from a system or component in order to prevent overcurrent. Electrical shunts are commonly used in a variety of applications including power distribution systems, electrical measurement ...
Nodal analysis uses the concept of a node voltage and considers the node voltages to be the unknown variables. [2]: 2-8 - 2-9 For all nodes, except a chosen reference node, the node voltage is defined as the voltage drop from the node to the reference node. Therefore, there are N-1 node voltages for a circuit with N nodes. [2]: 2-10
Shunt resistor. The common and simple approach to current sensing is the use of a shunt resistor. That the voltage drop across the shunt is proportional to its current flow, i.e. ohm's law, makes the low resistance current shunt a very popular choice for current measurement system with its low cost and high reliability.
[1] [2] When analysing electric/electronic circuits, we may ask two types of questions: What is the value of certain circuit variable (voltage, current, resistance, gain, etc.) or what is the relationship between some circuit variables or between a circuit variable and circuit components and frequency (or time). Such relationship may take the ...
Network synthesis is a design technique for linear electrical circuits.Synthesis starts from a prescribed impedance function of frequency or frequency response and then determines the possible networks that will produce the required response.
The circuit representation of these elements requires a distributed-element model and consequently calculus must be used to analyse the circuit. The analysis yields a system of two first order, simultaneous linear partial differential equations which may be combined to derive the secondary constants of characteristic impedance and propagation ...
Matthew Nojimu Olanipekun Sadiku from the Prairie View A&M University, Cypress, TX was named Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2013 [1] "for contributions to computational electromagnetics and engineering education". He is a co-author of the textbook Fundamental of Electric Circuits with Charles K. Alexander.
A magnetically-controlled shunt reactor (MCSR, CSR) represents electrotechnical equipment purposed for compensation of reactive power and stabilization of voltage level in high voltage (HV) electric networks rated for voltage classes 36 – 750 kV. MCSR is shunt-type static device with smooth regulation by means of inductive reactance.
