Pspice Tutorial Pdf
In this tutorial, I will help you do the analysis of an AC circuit. An AC circuit is the one in which the source of the circuit is of alternating current rather than DC (Direct current). At the start of the tutorial a brief introduction of AC (alternating current) is provided after that a simple AC circuit is implemented in PSPICE and the results were analyzed precisely. At the end of the tutorial you are provided with an exercise to do it by yourself, and in the next tutorials I will assume that you have done those exercises and I will not explain the concept regarding them Introduction to AC circuits analysisA simple AC circuit is a circuit in which alternating current source is used. In AC circuit the source oscillates continuously as in the case of a sine wave. A simple AC voltage source is shown in the figure below,Figure 1: Voltage sourceOn complete cycle of an AC voltage source consists of two half cycles, one being the positive half cycle and the other id the negative half cycle. The polarities in both the half cycles will be different from each other.
The same ohms’ law as discussed in the previous tutorial applies on the AC voltage also, the presence of a resistor changes the value of the current accordingly with the resistor if the voltage is kept constant. Example of AC circuits Analysis in PSpice. Lets’ design a simple AC circuit i.e.
A circuit with AC source as a supply. Open the PSPICE design manager on your PC by typing design manager in the search bar. From the design manager click on the run schematic button to open a new blank schematic as shown in the figure below,Figure 2: Open new schematic. After opening the new schematic before jumping into designing first save the schematic by clicking on the file button at the top left corner and then selecting save as so that we can access it anytime in the future. Refer to the figure below,Figure 3: Saving schematic. Click on the get new part icon at the top bar of the schematic window in order to search for the components that are needed for circuit designing.Figure 4: Get new part.

In the get new part window, type ‘ r’ it will display a list of resistors available in PSPICE.
