Homework Statement
An A.C. voltage, V comprises of a fundamental voltage of 100V rms at a frequency of 120Hz, a 3rd harmonic which is 20% of the fundamental, a 5th harmonic which is 10% of the fundamental and at a phase angle of 1.2 radians lagging.
i) Write down an expression for the voltage waveform.
ii) Sketch the waveforms of the harmonic compnents.
iii) Determin the voltage at 20ms.
iv) Given an ideal V = 100V rms, what is the percentage error at 20ms
The Attempt at a Solution
part i)
V = Vrms * sqrt2 = 100* 1.414 = 141.4V at 120Hz
3rd harmonic = 20% of 141.4 = 28.28V at 360Hz
5th harmonic = 10% of 141.4 = 14.14V at 600Hz
v = (141.4sin(240∏t)) + (28.3sin(720∏t)) + (14.1sin(1200∏t-1.2))
does this first part look correct?
