Preface
In preparing this second edition the basic aims
of the first edition
have not been changed. We have designed this volume
to cover the
Al and A2 stages of the Higher National Certificate in Electrical
and Electronic Engineering. It does not pretend to be exhaustive,
nor specialist, but is designed for a broad background
course, with
stress laid on the fundamental aspects of
each section. The contents
will be found to correspond to much
of the work in the recent
Department of Education and Science outline syllabuses for
H.N.C.
Courses in England. It accords also with the Scottish
H.N.C.
scheme. In addition this volume should prove
useful in under-

further chapter giving
an introduction to logic has also been added.
As in the first edition we have included a large number of
worked
examples in the text. Problems (with answers) at the end
of each
chapter give the reader the opportunity of testing his
understanding
of the text as he proceeds. Thanks are due to
the Senate of the
University of London, and to the Scottish Association

MEASUREMENT CIRCUITS
The Wheatstone bridge network may be adapted for a.c. measurements by making the supply an alternating one of the frequency
desired, and using a detector which is sensitive to alternating currents. The a.c. bridge network is used for comparison measurements
of resistance, inductance and capacitance to a high degree of
precision.

Balance Conditions
In the same way as for the d.c. Wheatstone bridge network, an alternating-current bridge is said to be balanced when the current through
the detector is zero. Fig. 3.1 shows a generalized bridge circuit,
which Z\, Z2, Z3 and 4 are the impedances (in complex form)
of the bridge arms. If the current through the detector is zero,
then the current

GENERAL
A.C.
BRIDGE CIRCUIT
The bridge is set up, and the current through the detector
reduced to zero by successive adjustments of the variable circuitelements (usually only two elements in the bridge are variable).
When this is achieved the unknown impedance may be expressed
in terms of the comparison standards.
It should be noted that eqn. (3.1) will be in complex form, so
that for balance the reference terms on each side must be equated,
and also the quadrate terms. Balance will obviously be achieved

and detector can be earthed. Further, if the centre tap of transformer T is earthed, then at balance one end of both the standard
and the unknown will be earthed. Strays may readily be taken into
account by setting the standard admittance to zero, and balancing
without the unknown connected, by means of auxiliary variables
in the standard arm which need not be calibrated. In this way the
effect of long leads to the unknown may be eliminated.
A simplified set-up for the measurement of an unknown capacitance is shown in Fig. 3.11(6). Balancing components are used to
eliminate stray effects, and the bridge is rearranged to increase its

second harmonic to the fundamental has dissimilar positive and negative half-cycles. In general a complex wave with identical positive and
negative half-cycles can have no even-harmonic components. Since
most rotating machines produce similar positive and negative halfcycles there will be only odd harmonics in their output waves.

The power supplied to this circuit at any instant is the product vi.
This product will involve multiplying every term in the voltage
wave in turn by every term in the current wave. The average power
supplied over a cycle will be the sum of the average values over one
cycle of each individual product term. From eqn. (5.5) it can be
seen that the average value of all product terms involving harmonics
of different frequencies will be zero, so that only the products of
current and voltage harmonics of the same frequency need be
considered. For the general term of this nature, the average value
of the product over one cycle of the fundamental is given by

PURE INDUCTANCE
If the voltage of eqn. (5.14) is applied to
an inductance of L henrys,
the inductive reactance (2wfL) will vary with the harmonic frequency.
For every harmonic term, however, the current will lag behind the
voltage by 90. Hence the general expression for the current is

each line-to-neutral voltage may contain a third-harmonic component^
and if one is actually present a third-harmonic current will then flow
in the star-connected load. If the load is
balanced, the resulting
third-harmonic currents will all be in phase, so that the
neutral

This wave is also plotted in Fig. 5.13, and from it the phase angle of the third

To obtain the fundamental, the third harmonic is subtracted from the complex

To obtain an exact solution for the first peak of the current, the above expression
must be differentiated, equated to zero, and the resulting expression solved
graphically for /. It is usually sufficiently accurate to determine the instant at
which the steady-state term reaches its first maximum positive value, and to add
the value of the transient term at this instant to the peak value of the steady-state
term. Thus the first maximum positive value of the steady-state term occurs when

The initial condition, which is used to determine the constant B
in eqn. (6.19), is that the charge on a capacitor cannot instantaneously change since an instantaneous change of charge would require an infinite current and hence an infinite rate of change of
voltage. In effect, since the capacitance is constant, this means that
the voltage across a capacitor is momentarily the same before and

voltage across it is 120V. Up to this point the gas discharge tube is inoperative,
but at this voltage the gas becomes conducting, and the capacitor discharges
quickly through it. The voltage across the capacitor falls rapidly to zero, and the
discharge tube again becomes non-conducting, so allowing the capacitor to
charge up once more, and so on. The voltage across the capacitor is thus the
saw-tooth wave shown in Fig. 6.6(6), the discharge time being so small that it
may be
taken as instantaneous.
In order to determine the repetition frequency, the time taken to charge
the capacitor to 120V must be found.

the streamlines may be taken to cross the intervening space normally.

4. Either rub out the previously drawn streamlines, leaving the equipotentials,
or better, take a tracing of the figure with equipotentials but not streamlines.
Now redraw the streamlines cutting the equipotentials orthogonally and forming
near squares. It will be unlikely that an integral number of near squares will
fit into the total area. The resultant trace at this stage is probably fairly accurate
and sufficiently good for most purposes. It is shown on the left-hand side of the
plot. If, however, greater accuracy is required, the figure should be retraced
excluding the equipotentials but including the new streamlines and so on. It
must be emphasized that, while one retracing provides fair accuracy after some
practice, the result without the retracing operation has a very poor accuracy and
is unsatisfactory except for the roughest estimations. Less than 5 per cent error
may often be attained with one retracing only.

Mapping. The centre-line joining the two plates will be the medial streamby the symmetry of the arrangement also the centre-line between the two

the medial streamline the whole field may be divided into four separate symmetrical
parts. One such part is enlarged for mapping in Fig. 7.14(6).
The mapping may be as follows.
1. Estimate the position of the equipotentiai AB which has the mean potential
between that of the plate and that of the medial equipotentiai. The end B is not
taken too far, since if it were, the exact position of the line would be very difficult
to estimate. Point A will lie slightly closer to H than to O.

In this case it should be noted that between the plates the field is almost
uniform, giving a field plot consisting of true squares in this region. At the corner
of the plate the squares are smallerhence there is a greater electric stress
here.
On the top of the plate the squares become extremely large, indicating that the
main field exists between the plates.

A non-varying magnetic field (i.e. one that is set up by a permanentmagnet or a direct current) will be unaffected by the presence of a
conductor provided that the conductor is non-magnetic. A permanent
field, e.g. the earth's magnetic field, will, for instance, penetrate a
block of brass. If the field is varying (i.e. set up by an alternating
current), then in general it will not penetrate a conducting material
since the eddy currents which would be set up within the material
would oppose the magnetic field. The actual depth to which a
magnetic field will effectively penetrate a conductor decreases as
the frequency increases. The depth of penetration also depends on
the resistivity and permeability of the conductor.
If the depth of penetration of flux is small, then the eddy currents

used either to prevent an external field from affecting the coil, or
to restrict the field of the coil itself. An external field linking the
coil would also link the short-circuited turns and induce eddy
currents in them.

former links a larger magnetic field than the latter. The larger
inductance does not affect direct currents, but obviously the inner
conductor will have a larger impedance to alternating currents
than the outer, and hence the current and current density will tend
to be greater in the outer conductor. The effect increases with
frequency, until at high frequencies the current is almost entirely
in the "outer skin" of the conductor.
Exact analysis shows that the depth of penetration of the current
is given by the same equation as is the depth of penetration of magnetic flux.

TRANSFORMERS
Two circuits
when some of the magby the excitation of one circuit links with some or
all of the turns of the second circuit.
Transformers are mutual
inductors designed so that the magnetic coupling between the two
circuits is tight, i.e. the greater part of the flux linking each circuit is
mutual. This is achieved by providing a low-reluctance path for
the mutual flux.
Equivalent circuits consisting of resistive and self-inductive
(not mutually inductive) elements can be derived for mutual inductors or transformers. The self-inductive elements may be expressed
either in terms of the total circuit inductances and the mutual inductance or in terms of leakage inductances and magnetizing inductances.

Construction
MAGNETIC CIRCUIT
There are three distinct types of construction: core type, shell
type and Berry type. In the core type (Fig. 9.11(a)), half of the
primary winding and half of the secondary winding are placed round
each limb. This reduces the effect of flux leakage which would
seriously affect the operation if the primary and secondary were
each wound separately on different limbs. The limbs are joined
together by an iron yoke.
In the shell type (Fig. 9.11(b)), both windings are placed round a
central limb, the
flux path.

always designed so that their magnetic circuits are driven into saturation to reduce the magnetic cross-section required and so produce the
most economical design. In these circumstances the inductances
are not constant but vary with the degree of magnetic saturation
present. Since power transformers are operated at approximately
constant voltage and frequency the degree of saturation at maximum
flux density does not vary greatly, and appropriate average values
may be found for the inductances to give reasonably accurate predictions.

Transformer losses may be divided into two main parts, (a) the
losses which vary with the load current, and (b) the losses which
vary with the core flux. Since the load current is not constant during
normal operation the winding I Z R losses will vary. Under normal
conditions, however, the core flux will remain approximately constant, so that the losses which vary with the core flux (core losses)
will be approximately constant, independent of the load. These

From eqn. (9.71) it can be seen that, with sinusoidal flux in the core,
the hysteresis loss increases with the frequency, while the eddycurrent loss increases as the square of the frequency. This is the

Since it is necessary to
ensure a sinusoidal core flux, the secondary is connected to a movingiron voltmeter (measuring r.m.s. values), with a rectifier voltmeter

but the primary phase voltages may be
unbalanced, since the star-point potential is not fixed. The most
extreme case is when one secondary phase only is loaded. The
loaded transformer will have a low input impedance while the two
unloaded transformers will act as high-impedance chokes. The
voltage across the loaded phase will fall to a low value, while
the voltages across the other, two phases will rise almost to the line
voltage value. This connexion is therefore unsuitable if there is any
possibility of unbalanced loads.

Hence between line terminals the primary ampere-turns
must balance the secondary ampere-turns, but there need not
necessarily be ampere-turn balance on each core. Consider, for

only one secondary phase loaded, as shown in Fig. 9.26. Let the

DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMERS
AUTO-TRANSFORMERS
Consider a single winding AC, on a magnetic core as shown in Fig.
9.29. If this winding is tapped at a point B, and a load is connected
between B and C, then a current will flow, under the influence of the
e.m.f. E2 between the two points. The current h will produce an
m.m.f. in the core which will be balanced by a current h flowing in
the complete winding. This is called the auto-transformer action,
and has the advantage that it effects a saving in winding material
(copper or aluminium), since the secondary winding is now merged
into the primary. The disadvantages of the auto-connexion are

GENERAL PRINCIPLES
OF ROTATING MACHINES
MW
10.1
Modes
of Operation
There are three distinguishable ways or modes of operation of rotating machines and these are illustrated in the block diagrams of Fig.
10.1.
The three modes, motoring, generating and braking, are
specified below.
MOTORING MODE
Electrical energy is supplied to the main or armature winding of the
machine and a mechanical energy output is available at a rotating
shaft. This mode of operation is illustrated in Fig. 10.1(a), which
takes the form of a 2-port representation of a machine, one port
being electrical and the other mechanical.

BRAKING MODE
In this mode of operation the machine has both a mechanical energy
input and an electrical energy input. The total energy input is
dissipated as loss in the machine. This mode is of limited practical
application but occurs sometimes in the operation of induction
and other machines.

The salient pole rotor arrangement is most often used for synchronous machines. In such machines the main winding is on
the stator but it is often called the armature winding.
In general, rotating machines can have any even number of poles.
The concentrated coil windings surrounding the poles are excited
so as to make successive poles of alternate north and south polarity.

winding whose axis does not correspond with the d-axis is the magnitude of the clockwise angle through which the coil must be rotated
so that its m.m.f. acts along the positive direction of the d-axis.
Fig. 10.6(a) shows a rotor winding at an angle 8 r to the d-axis.
If the current in this coil were reversed, represented in the diagram by
interchange of the dots and crosses of the rotor winding, the winding
position would be taken as 180 + 6 r
Fig. 10.6(b) is a circuit representation of the configuration shown
at (a) which uses the dot notation. The dot notation for coils capable
of rotation can be expressed as "currents entering the dotted end
of a winding give rise to an m.m.f. which acts towards the dotted
.
end".

Since the air-gap is uniform, the permeance of the stator and rotor
magnetic circuits is unaffected by rotor position and the stator and
rotor winding self-inductances are constants.
If the stator has salient poles, the mutual inductance between the
stator and rotor windings is still given by eqn. (10.3) though the
space-harmonic coefficients, kz, 5, ki, etc. will be different. Since
the space harmonics are ignored, the mutual inductance is given by
eqn. (10.4). The self-inductance of the stator winding will be a
constant independent of r but the self-inductance of the rotor
coil will depend on the rotor position (see Fig. 10.7). When the rotor
m.m.f. axis is lined up with the d-axis, its self-inductance will be a

When the saliency occurs on the rotor, on the other hand, the
rotor self-inductance becomes constant and the stator self-inductance
changes. In such a case the d- and 9-axis are deemed to rotate, the

Eqn. (10.50) also shows that the m.m.f. due to a 3-phase winding
excited by balanced 3-phase currents could be represented as
the m.m.f. of a single winding of s turns and excited with a direct
current of value ilsm where the winding is considered to rotate at
an angular velocity m and
s represents the number of turns of
each stator phase.
In Chapter 11 the resultant m.m.f. due to 3-phase distributed
windings is considered, and the effect of space harmonics is discussed. These are ignored in the present treatment.

Suppose that under each pole pair each phase of the winding has

The e.m.f. per phase and pole pair is the complexor sum of the coil
voltages. These will not be in time phase with one another since
successive coils are displaced round the armature, and hence will
not be linked by the same value of flux at the same instant. Ei, E2,

result as that of eqn. (11.23) is obtained for other paths of

directed from rotor to stator for the upper half of the stator, and
from stator to rotor for the lower half of the stator in this case.
Fig. 11.7(c) shows a graph of air-gap magnetic potential difference plotted to a base of the developed stator surface. The
magnetic potential difference has been arbitrarily assumed positive
when it is directed from rotor to stator and shown above the datum
line. It is therefore taken to be negative when directed from stator to
rotor and shown below the datum line. The magnetic potential
difference is shown as changing abruptly from +iiN to \iN
opposite the slot opening. This corresponds to the situation where

Althongh Fig. 11.7(c) is properly described as showing the variation of air-gap magnetic potential difference to a base of the developed stator surface, such a diagram is often called an m.m.f. wave

has been shown that the 3-phase currents in the stator of a 3phase machine produce a magnetic field of effectively constant
amplitude rotating round the air-gap at synchronous speed. The
torque developed is due to the magnetic forces between the rotor
poles and the rotating field, so that so long as the rotor poles move
at synchronous speed there will be a constant magnetic force
between stator and rotor. Hence the 3-phase machine will develop
a constant torque which does not pulsate in magnitude. (Note
that this differs from the case of the single-phase machine.)
The above conclusion may also be derived by considering that the
total power delivered to a balanced 3-phase load is non-pulsating,
so that, if the load is a machine which is running at a constant speed,
the torque developed must also be non-pulsating. On this basis
the single-phase machine has a pulsating torque since the power
supplied pulsates at twice the supply frequency.

The phase spreads of the red phase, R and R, have been dotted
and crossed in accordance with the convention for positive e.m.f.
The rotor rotates in the direction shown; the direction of the stator
conductors relative to the rotor is in the opposite direction, and this
latter direction must be used in applying the right-hand rule to find
the direction of the field flux and m.m.f. This is as shown in Fig.
12.2(a), the
maximum
of the red phase spreads, since this phase has maximum e.m.f.
induced in it. The field m.m.f., FF shown in Fig. 12.2(a) is also the

This is the instant in the 3-phase cycle for which Fig. 11.9(a)

same position as the armature m.m.f. in Fig. 11.9(a) and lags
behind the resultant m.m.f. wave by rc\2 radians, but the space

respect to the induced e.m.f. is kept the same as for generator action,
but the opposite convention for positive current is used in drawing
the m.m.f.
phase spreads are crossed when the current is positive, and the primed
phase spreads are dotted when the current is positive. The convention for e.m.f. is the same as that used for generator action in the
construction of Fig. 12.2.
Fig. 12.3(a) shows the m.m.f. waves for the synchronous motor on
no-load. It has been assumed that the no-load current is negligible
and the armature m.m.f. zero. The field and resultant m.m.f.s
are then identical as shown, and Fig. 12.3(a) corresponds exactly
to Fig. 12.2(a).
Fig. 12.3(6) shows the m.m.f. wave diagram corresponding to
motor operation at unity power factor. The armature m.m.f. is
reversed at all points compared with the corresponding armature
m.m.f. wave in Fig. 12.2(b). The field m.m.f. is found by carrying
out the subtraction Fr Fa point by point round the air-gap.
It will be noted that, compared with the no-load condition, the
field m.m.f. is displaced by an angle a' in the direction opposite to
rotation, thus giving rise to a torque on the rotor acting in the
direction of rotation. The machine thus delivers mechanical power,
having absorbed electrical power from the supply.
Figs. 12.3(c) and (d) show the m.m.f. for operation at lagging and
leading power factors respectively. Synchronous motors are operated
from a constant-voltage supply, so that variation in the field excitation cannot affect the machine e.m.f. It follows that the power
factor of the armature current must alter with variation of field

size, the installed capacity of the largest exceeding 2,000 MW. About
one-quarter of the stations have a rating of less than 50
and
supply less than 2\ per cent of the electrical energy demanded from
the public supply.
The generating stations do not operate as isolated units but are
interconnected by the national grid, which consists of almost 10,000
miles of main transmission line, for the most part overhead lines
operating at 132, 275 and 400 kV. The total generating capacity
interconnected by the grid system is over 40,000 MW. The output
of any single machine is therefore small compared with the total
MW
414
of 500
MW.

In modern power stations alternators are synchronized autoThe principles may be illustrated by the three-lamp
method, which, along with a voltmeter, may be used for synchronizing
low-power machines.
Fig. 12.1 1(a) is the connexion diagram from which it will be noted
that one lamp is connected between corresponding phases while
the two others are cross-connected between the other two phases.

the straight-connected
connected lamps are equally bright. If the phase sequence is incorrect no such instant will occur as the cross-connected lamps will,
in effect, be straight-connected and all the lamps will be dark
simultaneously. In this event the direction of rotation of the
incoming machine should be reversed or two lines of the machine
should be interchanged. Since the dark range of a lamp extends
over a considerable voltage range it is advisable to connect a voltmeter across the straight-connected lamp and to close the paralleling
switch when the voltmeter reading is zero. It should be noted that
the lamps and the voltmeter must be able to withstand twice the
normal phase voltage.

IaZs both of which remain unchanged. This difference is made up
by a leading reactive current (which contributes nothing to the power
output of the alternator) which sets up the voltage drop Ir s which
leads Ia Zs by 90. The complexor diagram illustrating this condition
is shown in Fig. 12.12(6). If it is said that the alternator is normally
excited when it is working at unity power factor, then when the

Here again the plus signs refer to motor action, the minus signs to

torque for generator action is greater than the maximum gross
output torque for motor action. This inequality would disappear
the stator resistance were negligible. Although, as eqn. (13.29)
shows, the slip at which the maximum torque occurs is proportional
to the referred value of rotor resistance per stator phase, R r \ the

Referring to motor action, AB represents the torque at standstill or
starting torque. Provided the load torque is less than this the motor
will accelerate until the developed motor torque and load torque
come into equality at a speed close to but less than synchronous
speed. The machine operates stably as a motor over the range indicated. If the machine is operating in this region and a load torque
in excess of the maximum motoring torque, CD, is imposed on
the machine, it will decelerate to standstill or stall. The range DB

13.7. Further, since from eqn. (13.14) the slip is equal to s = Pr /Po,
an induction machine operating with a large value of slip would have
a large rotor loss and consequently a low efficiency. A disadvantage
of having the maximum torque occur at a low value of slip is that,
as Fig. 13.7 shows, this arrangement makes the starting torque low.

below that at
the motor should accelerate the load back to its
speed at C when the load torque returns to normal. Since dTjdn r for
the load is not greater than dT\dn r for the drive at D, this is an unstable operating point; i.e. if some random cause makes the speed
fall slightly the load torque will exceed the driving torque and cause a
further reduction in speed, or vice versa. The portion of the normal
characteristic curve (a) which lies to the left of the maximumtorque point is called the nominally unstable portion. Though it is
not normally possible for a motor to operate at a point on the nominally unstable portion of its characteristic, this may be arranged if a
load, such as a fan, with a steep rising characteristic is chosen. A
particular case is represented by curve (e); the motor would drive
this load at a speed corresponding to the point E.
An induction motor may sometimes run in a stable manner at a
low speed on a constant-torque load. This can be the result of a
kink in the normal torque/speed characteristic. In Fig. 13.14

(b) The pull-out torque is the maximum torque. Hence two points, Q3 for
motor action and Q3' for generator action, must be found on the circular locus
which make the horizontal distance from the locus to the torque line a maximum.
This is most easily accomplished by drawing a line from the centre of the circle,
perpendicular to the torque line, to meet the circle at Q3 and Q3'. Q3S3 and
Q3'S3' are then drawn in the reference direction to meet the torque line in S3

Thus, unlike the polyphase induction machine, the singlephase induction machine has a pulsating component of developed
torque. Examination of the component slip/torque curves of Fig.
13.23 reveals that at starting the forward- and backward-directed mean
torques are equal, so that the single-phase machine is not selfstarting. If the machine is started in either direction it will run up to

In this mode of operation, therefore, the machine acts as an approximately constant-current source, a result already anticipated because
of the existence of the negative-feedback term proportional to output
current. Metadyne generators are uncompensated or undercompensated cross-field generators.

The Valid characteristics shown in Fig. 14.6 are straight lines since
the operating equations were derived assuming that the machine

In practical machines the magnetic circuits are subjected to
magnetic saturation, and this causes the characteristics to be nonlinear. As magnetic saturation grows the values of the direct-axis

was shown in Chapter 12, the output of the generators depends only
on the power supply to their prime movers. Thus the power transmitted from point to point in an interconnected network depends
ultimately on the steam supplies to the prime movers. Where more
than one path is available between interconnected points, the proportion of power transmitted by each path may be controlled, but the
total remains dependent on the load conditions.
The control of the power transmitted over the National Grid in
this country is centralized in the control rooms of the Generating
Divisions and in the National Control Room. These maintain
communication with the generating stations coming under their
control and issue instructions to station engineers to increase or
reduce station loadings. The control room engineers thus control
the frequency and the loading of transmission links in the network.
Apart from the question of the control of the power flow there is
the question of voltage regulation. When power is transmitted
across the interconnector there will be a voltage drop in the interconnector, the magnitude of which will depend on the impedance

To find the maximum power which can be sent along the line it is necessary
to determine the maximum value which the active component of current, Ia
may have. This may be done from the diagram by determining the maximum
value of the voltage drop Ia Z.

Vs), an arc, ae, is described. Oe is drawn parallel to ab to cut this arc in e. From
e a perpendicular to ab is drawn meeting ab inf. af is the maximum value which
voltage drop Ia
may have; fe is the corresponding voltage drop caused by the
reactive component of current.
The maximum power is transmitted when the phase angle between the receivingend and sending-end voltages is equal to that of the line impedance. If the sendingend voltage Vs were to lead the receiving-end voltage Vr by more than y the
power sent would decrease, since the projection of the sending-end voltage on

ous phase modifiers is not used, cannot be operated near the limit
of stability, since the voltage drop along the line would become
excessive. On long lines, however, where synchronous phase modifiers are used to control the voltage this limit may be approached
and becomes of practical importance. Because of the high capital
cost of transmission lines, the more power which can be transmitted
over a given line the more economical becomes the operation.
The limit of stability of transmission lines is analogous to the
limit of stability of a synchronous motor, where, as load is imposed
on the machine, the rotor shifts backwards relative to the rotating
field of the stator, and the angle of phase difference between the
applied voltage and the e.m.f. increases. The limit of stability is
reached when the e.m.f. lags behind the applied voltage by an angle

the load torque remains constant at TB so that the torque represented
by the difference between the curve BC and the line BE must be

When the circuit-breaker opens, the current of 400 A cannot immediately cease
due to the line inductance; thus the line capacitance at the circuit-breaker end
must become negatively charged by the instantaneous continuation of the 400 A
current. A negative voltage then arises at the circuit-breaker end while the rest
of the line is uncharged; hence a negative voltage surge travels from the circuitbreaker end. The current associated with this surge will be 400 A, since there
can be no resultant current at the open-circuited circuit-breaker end. Therefore

Either the impulse ratio for the rod gap must be improved or the
50 Hz setting for the rod gap must be reduced. The impulse ratio
is found to depend on the geometry of the air-gap.
A sphere gap,
with relatively close spacing, has an impulse ratio of unity
needle gap may have an impulse ratio of between 2 and 3.
Time Factor. The breakdown of insulation or an air-gap does not
occur instantaneously on the application of the excess voltage. The
time for the complete breakdown to develop depends (i) on the
magnitude of the excess voltage, (ii) on the material in the breakdown path, and (iii) on the shape and spacing of the electrodes.
Naturally the greater the excess voltage the shorter is the time
required for breakdown to develop a typical characteristic is shown
in Fig. 16.9(a).

The principle of operation is that a stack of Metrosil discs is
connected between line and earth close to the transformer (or other
plant) to be protected. Because of the nature of the volt/ampere
characteristic, at normal voltage the diverter passes only a very small
current to earth, but when a high over-voltage occurs the resistance

has been chosen in the middle of the linear portion of the transistor
characteristics, and that suitable d.c. bias circuits have been selected.
In a.c. (signal) equivalent circuits only those external components
that are effective under a.c. conditions are shown. Thus the d.c.
power supply is simply a short-circuit to alternating currents.
Similarly, at mid-frequencies, decoupling and coupling capacitors
will act as short-circuits. The effect of d.c. bias circuits on the signal
is usually small so that they too can often be neglected in a.c.

The capacitance, Cbc, which exists between the base and collectoi
of a transistor can result in a part of the output voltage of a tuned
amplifier being fed back to the input base connexion, as shown in
Fig. 21.12(a) where only the a.c. components of the circuit have
been shown. As will be seen in Chapter 22, this feedback can have
undesirable effects, and may result in the amplifier becoming an
oscillator. It can be eliminated by extending the tuning inductance,
Li, by a few turns, and connecting a neutralizing capacitor, Cn ,
between this extension and the base input. Then Li, L2, Cbc and Cn
form a simple bridge circuit, in which at balance

has on the input circuit. Also the emitter circuit impedance was
shown to couple output and input circuits. This effect is called
feedback, and by the intentional use of feedback the characteristics
of amplifiers can be considerably modified.
If the feedback effect reduces the value of the overall gain, it is
called negative feedback. The advantage of negative feedback is
that it enables some of the output characteristics to be stabilized,
i.e. to become less dependent on supply voltage and active device
parameter changes. Thus negative voltage feedback (where the feedback signal is proportional to the output voltage) will reduce the voltage
gain, but

as will be seen.
If the feedback effect causes an
increase in the overall gain it is
called positive feedback. In this
case the amplifier stability suffers
(i.e. the gain becomes more
dependent on active device variations
and supply voltage changes). If there is
enough feedback the
amplifier may become completely
unstable and act as an oscillator
Often stray coupling (especially at high
frequencies) can give unwanted positive feedback and result in
undesired oscillation or
instability of gam.

In this case the gain of the single stage without feedback is fairly low, and the
variation of the transistor parameters still has a significant (though smaller)
effect on gain with feedback. Frequently the required characteristic is obtained
by using a three-stage amplifier with overall feedback from the last to the first
stage.

This shows that the "voltage-gain" bandwidth of the amplifier

characteristic) has been increased by a factor (1 + (iAvo), again at
the expense of a corresponding reduction in voltage gain. If the
feedback reduces the current gain, similar considerations show that
"current-gain" bandwidth is increased in the same proportion.
(i.e.
Note that the gain-bandwidth product remains constant for a singlestage amplifier since bandwidth is increased by the same factor as the
gain is reduced by the feedback. This simple relationship does not
apply to multi-stage amplifiers.

For negative feedback the input impedance is reduced in the same

has been seen in the last section that negative shunt current feedback reduces the input impedance to an amplifier circuit. In general,
feedback can affect both the input and output impedances of amplifiers. The way in which the feedback is introduced into
the input
circuit will affect the input impedance (i.e. the ratio of input voltage
to input current). Thus, for series negative feedback, the input

LC Oscillators
In all oscillators the basic criterion is that the critical loop gain is
unity (Barkhausen criterion); i.e. power, voltage and current gains
are all unity. With bipolar junction transistors the input impedance
is not infinite and it is most convenient to take the condition for
oscillation that the loop current gain is unity, where this gain is
and terminating it in an
equal to the input impedance of the transistor. The
current in this terminating impedance with the open feedback loop
will then be the input current to the first transistor when the loop is
calculated by opening the feedback loop

If the pulse width is less than five time constants, the output pulse
will never reach the peak of the input. This condition is shown in
Fig. 23.18(c). The decay will, however, last at least five time constants, unless the next pulse arrives before this.
If the time constant, CR, is very large, the output of the circuit will
be approximately equal to the time integral of the input for integrating times which are small compared to CR. Thus, for the circuit of

metres of mercury depending on the design and application of the
valve. In these valves there are frequent collisions between gas
atoms and electrons during the passage of electron current from
cathode to anode. The most common gas filling is mercury vapour,
but argon, neon, hydrogen and other gases are also used.
There are three types of collision which may occur between an
electron and a gas atom depending on the speed or kinetic energy
of the bombarding electron. If the speed is low (corresponding to
an energy of 2 or 3eV), the electrostatic fields of the bombarding
electron and the outer electrons of the atom interact with one

The action of the gas diode depends on the greater mobility of the

mass of the electron). The electrons move much more quickly

has been assumed that the positive space charge first builds up in the
middle of the interspace. Owing to the high stress, electrons will move
quickly from the negative space charge around the thermionic
cathode to the positive space charge, and at the same time electrons
will move slowly from the positive space charge to the anode,
With
from the cathode space charge more
positive ions will be formed and the positive space charge will
continue to increase, the limit being the value of the anode potential,
for if the space charge potential exceeded the anode potential,
electrons would move back into the positive space charge and
neutralize the effect of positive ions until the space charge potential
fell below the anode potential.
Between the positive space charge and the anode there is a region
in which the electric stress becomes very low; this region is filled
with about equal numbers of positive ions and negative electrons;
This is illustrated
it is highly conducting and is called the plasma.
in Fig. 25.2(fc). It will be seen that, in effect, the positive space
charge has become the effective anode joined to the actual anode
by the highly conducting plasma. Since the plasma contains about
equal numbers of electrons and positive ions at any given instant,
and since, even in the plasma, the electrons will be moving with a
much greater velocity than the positive ions, there must be many
more electrons passing through a given section in any given time
than there are positive ions. Therefore by far the larger portion of
the current through the valve is due to electrons thermionically

Temperature Effects
26.4
In jugfets the reverse biased gate diode exhibits the increase in leakage current with temperature that is common to all junction diodes;
hence the input resistance falls as the temperature rises. This effect
is much less pronounced in igfets because the input
resistance is
determined by the temperature coefficient of the insulating silicondioxide layer. In both types the channel resistance increases with
temperature (due to a decrease in carrier mobility) giving a negative
temperature coefficient of drain current. In jugfets the gate diode
contact voltage drops with temperature (by about 2 mV/K at around
300 K) This causes a positive temperature coefficient of drain current
which will be more pronounced the lower the value of pinchoff
voltage, Vp
Thus jugfets with low values of Vv (~ 0-5 V) have
normally an overall positive temperature coefficient, while those with
VP
1-5 V have normally an overall negative temperature coefficient of drain current.

Imagine that a very large number of similar capacitors are tested under the
stated conditions for 50 hours each and that the number which have failed in that
time is recorded. Then, on average, 5 capacitors in every 10,000 tested will have
failed.
