In electronics, impedance
matching is the practice of designing the input impedance of an electrical
load (or the output impedance of its corresponding signal source) to maximize
the power transfer or minimize reflections from the load.
Source and load circuit impedance
In the case of a complex
source impedance ZS and load impedance ZL,
maximum power transfer is obtained when
where * indicates the complex
conjugate. Minimum reflection is obtained when
The concept of impedance
matching was originally developed for electrical engineering, but can be
applied to any other field where a form of energy (not necessarily electrical)
is transferred between a source and a load. An alternative to impedance matching
is impedance bridging, where the load impedance is chosen to be much larger
than the source impedance and maximizing voltage transfer (rather than power)
is the goal.
AC Current flow
in 120/240 V AC single phase three or four wire systems is frequently
misunderstood. This technical brief goes through a step by step process of
adding one load at a time to a 120/240 V AC system and looking at the resulting
current flows.
There is an
assumed understanding of basic DC theory, Ohms Law (V=IR), the Power Law (P=VI)
and Kirchhoff’s Voltage and Current Laws.
1.The sum of the voltage rises equals the sum of
the voltage drops around any closed loop.
2.The sum of the currents entering a junction
equals the sum of the currents leaving the junction.

Designed
to give readers the "building blocks" of electricity concepts, the
sequence of topics and practical applications in this book will provide a solid
foundation in electron theory and movement, direct-current series circuits,
parallel circuits, series-parallel circuits, voltage line drops, rotating
machinery fundamentals, and more! Electricity 1: Devices, Circuits and
Materials, 9th Edition follows the same user-friendly approach that made previous
editions so effective, while incorporating updates based on the 2008 National
Electrical Code. Featuring current industry terminology, photographs of
commonly used electrical equipment, and sample problems with solutions, this is
an ideal choice for a first course in basic electricity, house wiring, or commercial installations.

High Voltage Engineering has been written for the undergraduate
students in Electrical Engineering of Indian and foreign Universities as well
as the practising electrical engineers.
The author developed interest in the field of High Voltage Engineering when he
was a student at the Govt. Engineering College, Jabalpur. It used to be thrilling
to observe large metal spheres flashing over, corona phenomenon on a wire
placed along the axis of a cylinder and then recording the corona loss,
controlling the wave shapes of impulse voltages etc.
