Strategy Ruminations

[someother]

Hi Omnibus,

I have a question... I've made the RC circuit, exactly as you have shown (PSpice), but I can't get the voltage and the current readings in the output file. Where are the settings for the log file?

In 'Simulation settings' -> 'Analysis' -> Output file options I am able to change the output speed, but this doesn't help.

Thank you.

OK, when the new screen with the graphs appears go to Edit->Select All then again Edit->Copy and then open notepad to paste the data. Save the data as, say, a.txt and then invoke it in Excel for processing.

@Omnibus
would the order of R1 and C1 make any difference to your cct.?

I don't think so, as long as you measure the total current and the voltage across both R and C. Also, be careful about the proper sense of the current -- the current has to lead the voltage. Take a look at the graphs I've posted earlier in this thread.

i did not think either the currant or phase angle or the power on the resister would change just checking.
if i understand what your saying the cop is above 1 for one offset polarity but below 1 for the other.
but if the order of the components makes no change then what happens if i designate the ground reference to the other side
of the source? the offset would reverse and the cop would change, all with no change to the cct.
did i miss something?
