SOURCE TRANSFORMATION




SOURCE TRANSFORMATION:

Voltage source:
 
Consider a practical voltage source shown in the figure having internal resistance Rse connected to the load having resistance RL .Now we can replace voltage source by equivalent current source .The current delivered in above case Vs voltage source.

                      i=Vs/(Rse+RL) ------------1 equation

Current source:
 

consider an equivalent current source shown in the figure the total current 'is'

   iL=(is*Rsh)/(Rsh+RL)  ----------------2eqn

 Equating equations 1&2 we get

  Vs/(Rse+RL)= (is*Rsh)/(Rsh+RL)


                      Rse=Rsh

                          is=(Vs/Rse)

·         If voltage source is converted to current source then is=(Vs/Rse) with parallel internal resistance equal to Rse.

·         If current source is converted to voltage source then Vs=is*Rse with series internal resistance equal to Rsh.

·         Note the directions of transformed source shown in the figure a and b.
