AI Thread Summary
To determine the current in an R-L circuit with a full wave rectifier, a steady state analysis is recommended unless investigating transient voltage peaks. Given the parameters of peak voltage at 10 volts, resistance of 100 ohms, and inductance of 1 Henry, the use of Laplace transforms is suggested to obtain the complete response of the circuit. The response should be divided into transient and steady state components, with Fourier series applied only to the steady state portion, as the transient response is non-periodic. This approach allows for a thorough analysis of current and voltage harmonics affecting the source. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for accurate circuit analysis.

I want to know how to determine a current from full wave rectifier.
If I have a voltage source (full wave rectifier 3-phase) and R-L circuit.
How to calculate and determine the current of that circuit?
So I can get the equation of that current.

For calculation, let us determine that :
peak voltage 10 Volts, R = 100 ohms and L = 1 Henry, frequency = 60Hz

I've known one solution, using simplification that L is infinite.
So current is squre function. But now I don't want to use any simplifications.

Using laplace transform or transient & steady state?
Thanks.

Unless you are interested in investigating the existence of voltage peaks during transient, you should use steady state analysis.
 
I want to see complete response of that current.
Then I want to analyze that current equation to Fourier series, so I can analyze harmonics (current and voltage harmonics) that influenced to the source.

To obtain the complete response you should use Laplace transforms. Once you have the complete response you must separate it in transient and steady state response and apply Fourier series only to the steady state, since the transient is not periodic in nature.
 
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
