13 ADMITTANCE METHOD

Admittance is the reciprocal of impedance. It is denoted by ‘Y’ and its unit is mho ( ) or Siemen
(S).
1 I Ampere
Y= = =
Z V Volt
The impedance has two components: resistance R and reactance X. similarly, Admittance Y also
has two components: Conductance (G) and Susceptance (B).
Conductance (G)
1
It is the reciprocal of resistance, G= . It is the measure of how much current is conducted and
R
is measured in mho .
Susceptance (B)
1
It is the reciprocal of reactance, B = . It is he measure of how much a circuit is susceptible to
X
conducting a changing current and is measured in mho .
Admittance can be represented by a triangle, called Admittance triangle.
From Admittance triangle ,
Conductance , g = Y cos 
1 R R
=  = , where
Z Z Z2
Z = R2 + X 2
R
substitute the value of Z in 2 ,
Z
R 1
we get g = 2 ( if X=0, g = )
R +X 2
R

Similarly, Susceptance , from above triangle, b = Y Sin


1 X X
=  = 2 , Substitute the value of Z, we get
Z Z Z
X 1
b= 2 if R=0, then b =
R +X 2
X
Then Admittance, Y = g 2 + b2

Note:
The susceptance ‘B’ is negative for inductive reactance and positive for capacitive
reactance

Let us consider a parallel circuit as shown in figure below

For Branch 1
R1 R
g1 = = 2 1 2
Z1 2
R1 + X L1
XL X
b1 = = 2 L1 2
Z1 2
R1 + X L1
For Branch 2
R2 R
g2 = = 2 2 2
Z2 2
R2 + X C 2
XC X
b2 = = 2 C2 2
Z2 2
R2 + X C 2
Total conductance, G= G1+ G2
Total Susceptance, B= -B1+ B2 ( ‘-‘ due to the presence of inductance in the branch 1)
Total Admittance , Y = g 2 + b2
Total Current = VY
G
Power factor , Cos =
Y
Power consumed , P = VICos
P = V 2G
