SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding the Thevenin equivalent circuit and the Thevenin resistance (Rth) for a specific circuit diagram. The user reports discrepancies between simulation software results and their manual calculations. They acknowledge the need for delta-Y conversions to determine Rth but express uncertainty regarding the open circuit potential. The community is encouraged to provide step-by-step solutions to identify errors in the user's approach.

PREREQUISITES
  • Thevenin's Theorem
  • Delta-Y (Δ-Y) Circuit Conversions
  • Open Circuit Voltage Calculation
  • Basic Circuit Simulation Software Usage
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Thevenin's Theorem in detail
  • Practice Delta-Y circuit conversions with example problems
  • Learn how to calculate open circuit voltage in various configurations
  • Explore different circuit simulation software options and their accuracy
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineering students, circuit design practitioners, and anyone seeking to master Thevenin equivalent circuits and resistance calculations.

Homework Statement

I need the find the thev. equivlaent circuit of the attached image
The attempt at a solution

I've tried using simulation software and the answers off the software are not what I am getting when trying to solve this. I know that when I find the Rth I need to use delta-Y conversions but I don't see how to find the open circuit potential...please help!
