  1. NODAL & MESH ANALYSIS

  2. Circuit Analysis When a circuit has more than one element, a circuit analysis is required to determine circuit parameters (v, i, power, etc.) in different parts of the circuit. • Circuit Theories: • Ohm’s Law • Superposition Theorem • Kirchhoff’s Voltage and Current Laws • Mesh/Nodal Analysis • Source Transformation • Thevenin/Norton Theorem • Wye/Delta Transformation

  3. Mesh (Loop) Analysis • Kirchhoff’s voltage law applies to a closed path in an electric circuit. The close path is referred to as a loop. • A mesh is a simple loop. That is, there are no other loops inside it. • Mesh analysis applies to planar circuits. That is, a circuit that can be drawn on a plane with no crossed wires.

  4. ~ I3 I1 I2 Mesh (Loop) Analysis (cont) • Steps: • assume mesh current I1 for Mesh 1, I2 for Mesh 2, etc. • apply KVL for each loop • obtain ‘n’ equations for ‘n’ meshes • i.e., the mesh currents are the unknown variables • solve equations to determine mesh currents • usually done using matrices • obtain currents through each circuit element of interest • apply Ohm’s Law to calculate voltages of interest

  5. Mesh (Loop) Analysis (continued) • Single voltage source • Multiple voltage sources • Voltage and current sources • Supermesh • Dependent sources

  6. Mesh (Loop) Analysis (continued) • Dependent sources: • Current controlled voltage source (CCVS) • Voltage controlled voltage source (VCVS) • Current controlled current source (CCCS) • Voltage controlled voltage source (VCCS)

Znn = Mesh Analysis Using Matrix Method [ V ] = [ Z ] [ I ] For a circuit with ‘n’ loops, the matrix equation is: • [ V ] is voltage vector • Vi is the source voltage in Mesh i • Sign convention: +ve voltage if going –ve to +ve (since voltage vector has been moved to the left hand side of the equation) • [ Z ] is impedance matrix (square matrix) • Diagonal element Zii = sum of all impedances in Mesh i • Zik = impedance between Mesh i and Mesh k • [ I ] is the unknown current vector • Ii = current in Mesh i

  10. Nodal Analysis • A node is a point in an electric circuit where 2 or more components are connected. (Strictly speaking, it is the whole conductive surface connecting those components.) • Nodal analysis applies to planar and non-planar circuits. • Nodal analysis is used to solve for node voltages. • Sign convention: current leaving node is +ve

  11. V1 V2 ~ ref. node ~ Nodal Analysis (continued) • Steps: • identify all the nodes • select a reference node (usually the node with the most branches connected to it or the ground node of a power source) • assume voltage Vi (w.r.t . reference node) for Node i • assume current direction in each branch • apply KCL at each node • obtain ‘n-1’ equations for ‘n’ nodes (since one node is the reference node) • solve the equations to determine node voltages • apply Ohm’s Law to calculate the currents
