Aim:
To obtain load current of the given circuit using Thevenin’s
Theorem in PSPICE software.
Apparatus/Tool required:

ORCAD / Capture CIS --> Analog Library – R


Source Library – Vdc
Ground (GND) – 0 (zero)
Simulation Settings: Analysis Type – DC Sweep

Circuit Diagram:

Theory:

1. Theorem Statement: The Maximum Power Transfer Theorem states


that to transfer the maximum amount of power from a source (e.g., a
voltage source) to a load (e.g., a resistor), the impedance of the load
must be equal to the complex conjugate of the source impedance. 2.
Application: The Maximum Power Transfer Theorem is often used in
practical circuit design to optimize power delivery. For instance, in
audio systems, it helps in designing speaker impedance to match the
amplifier output impedance for efficient power transfer. In summary,
the Maximum Power Transfer Theorem provides guidelines for
matching impedance between a source and a load to maximize
power transfer in electrical circuits, which is crucial for optimizing the
performance of electronic devices and systems.

Manual Calculations:
Procedure:
• Open the Pspice software. The below screen will be displayed.
Select New Project in the screen displayed below and enter a name
for the project. Proceed further by clicking on ‘Ok’

• After clicking ‘Ok’, the screen given below will be displayed. In that
screen, Click on ‘Create new project’ and proceed further with ‘Ok’.
Choose all the libraries to get the components which is to be used
for the circuit.
• The part list will look like the picture given below once you choose
all the libraries.
• For resistor and battery, search r analog and VDC respectively.

• For ground, there is a separate symbol in that tool bar. To connect


all the components, choose the below mentioned wire option
• The final circuit will look like this:

• To save the file, go to Pspice menu and select New Simulation


Profile. Name the file and click on ‘Create’.
• You will be lead on to the screen given below. In analysis type,
change the option to Bias point and Click ‘Apply’. Then click ‘Ok’
• To find the Isc value, short circuit the load resistor. Perform the
above mentioned steps to run the circuit and the current nobe will
be available. Using it, the current value (Isc) is obtained. The circuit

will be like:
• For circuit 3, the value of the Rth (Vth/Isc) and the value of the Vth
is used. Design a Thevenin equivalent circuit with those values in
series combination. Rename the load resistor within curly braces.
The circuit will be like:
• In place part, search for ‘PARAM’. Place it nearby the Load resistor.

• Click on new parameters, then click onto new property. Enter the
name of the property to variable and its value as 1 and click on
display on/off.

• Stimulate the circuit on in new simulation profile.


• Save the document. Click on ‘DC Sweep’ for the analysis type and
click on global parameters, type ‘variable’ and then provide the
start, end and increment value.

• In the lane of run option, we might witness various markers and


from that we have to select ‘Power dissipation marker’. Place it in a
manner where the marker touches the load resistor alone and it is
not in contact with the wires connecting the circuit
• Run the circuit by clicking the run option on the top menu, graph of
the circuit will appear and in that screen, click on that ‘Toggle
cursor’ and further choose ‘Cursor peak’.

Result:
Manual Calculations: Practical output:
Power= 41.89 W Power= 41.87 W
