BASICS OF PHASORS

1
BASICS OF PHASORS
A phasor is a complex number that represents the amplitude and phase
of a sinusoid.

 Phasors provide a simple means of analysing linear circuits excited


by sinusoidal sources

 A complex number z can be written in rectangular form as

z  x  jy
where j = √(−1), x is the real part of z, y is the imaginary part of z

BASICS OF PHASORS
 The complex number z can also be written in polar or exponential
form as,
z  r  re j
Where, r is the magnitude of z, and ϕ is
the phase of z
z  x  jy, z  r
Rectangular form Polar form
 The relationship between the
rectangular form and the polar form
is shown in Fig., Fig. Representation of a complex
number

BASICS OF PHASORS
 Where, x axis represents the real part and the y axis represents the
imaginary part of a complex number
 Given x and y, we can get r and ϕ as
y
r  x  y ,  tan
2 2 1
where, x  r cos, y  r sin 
x
 Thus, z may be written as
z  x  jy  r  r(cos  j sin )
 The idea of phasor representation is based on Euler’s identity
e j  cos  j sin 

BASICS OF PHASORS
 By considering cos ϕ and sin ϕ as the real and imaginary parts of e jϕ,
cos  Re(e j ),sin   Im(e j )

 Given a sinusoid v(t) = Vm cos(ωt + ϕ),


v(t)  Vm cos(t  )  Re(Vm e j (t  )
)

 Thus, v(t)  Re(Ve jt ) where, V  Vm e  Vm 

BASICS OF PHASORS
 Phasors V = Vm and I = Im  are graphically represented,
Such a graphical representation of phasors is known as a phasor diagram

BASICS OF PHASORS
 By suppressing the time factor, we transform the sinusoid from the
time domain to the phasor domain. This transformation is summarized
as follows,

v(t)  Vm cos(t  )  V  Vm

 Besides time differentiation and integration, another important use of


phasors is found in summing sinusoids of the same frequency

SOLVED NUMERICALS ON PHASORS

Numerical 1: Transform these sinusoids to phasors,
(a) i = 6 cos(50t − 40°) A
(b) v = −4 sin(30t + 50°) V

Solution:
(a) i = 6 cos(50t − 40°)A has the phasor, I  6  40A
(b) Since, −sin A = cos(A + 90°),
v = −4 sin(30t + 50°) = 4 cos(30t + 50° + 90°) = 4 cos(30t + 140°) V
The phasor form of v is V  4140oV

9
Numerical 2: Express these sinusoids as phasors,
(a) v = −14 sin(5t − 22°) V
(b) i = −8 cos(16t + 15°) A

Solution: (a) V  1468V (b) I  8 105A

Numerical 3: Find the sinusoids corresponding to these polars,


(a) V  2540V (b) I  j(12  j5)A
Solution: (a) v(t) = 25 cos(ωt − 140°) V or 25 cos(ωt + 220°) V,
(b) i(t) = 13 cos(ωt + 67.38°) A

10
Numerical 4: Given i1(t) = 4 cos(ωt + 30°) A and i2(t) = 5 sin(ωt − 20°) A,
find their sum.

Solution:
Current i1(t) is in the standard form. Its phasor is I  430o A
We need to express i2(t) in cosine form. The rule for converting sine to
cosine is to subtract by 90°,
i2 = 5 cos(ωt − 20° − 90°) = 5 cos(ωt − 110°)
and its phasor is I2  5 110 o A

11
If we let i = i1 + i2, then
I = I1 + I2 = 430  5 110o A

= (3.464 + j2) + (-1.71 - j4.698)


= 1.754 − j2.698
= 3.218  56.97A

Transforming this to the time domain,


we get i(t) = 3.218 cos(ωt − 56.97°) A
