Phasors 1.1

This software program analyzes circuits with alternate current, including transformers, CA motors and transmission lines. Students build the circuit studied and the software program gives them the corresponding vector representations in a chart: impedance, phase and power diagrams. The temporal representation of forms of current and tension waves are possible. Students can also work directly on the diagrams by carrying out mathematical operations associated with vectors.

Objectives

- Analyze an electric circuit with alternate current as a vector diagram

- Identify practical, typical situations from vector diagrams

- Develop a functional model for the analysis of components or to synthesize electric circuits

- Develop a systemic approach by encouraging the analysis of the relational connections of the different variables of a system
