(Redirected from Electrical admittance) Ease of electrical current flow This article is about electrical engineering. For other uses, see Admittance (disambiguation).

In electrical engineering, admittance is a measure of how easily a circuit or device will allow a current to flow. It is defined as the reciprocal of impedance, analogous to how conductance and resistance are defined. The SI unit of admittance is the siemens (symbol S); the older, synonymous unit is mho, and its symbol is ℧ (an upside-down uppercase omega Ω). Oliver Heaviside coined the term admittance in December 1887. Heaviside used Y to represent the magnitude of admittance, but it quickly became the conventional symbol for admittance itself through the publications of Charles Proteus Steinmetz. Heaviside probably chose Y simply because it is next to Z in the alphabet, the conventional symbol for impedance.

Admittance Y, measured in siemens, is defined as the inverse of impedance Z, measured in ohms:

Y 1 Z {\displaystyle Y\equiv {\frac {1}{Z}}}

Resistance is a measure of the opposition of a circuit to the flow of a steady current, while impedance takes into account not only the resistance but also dynamic effects (known as reactance). Likewise, admittance is not only a measure of the ease with which a steady current can flow, but also the dynamic effects of the material's susceptance to polarization:

Y = G + j B , {\displaystyle Y=G+jB\,,}

where

The dynamic effects of the material's susceptance relate to the universal dielectric response, the power law scaling of a system's admittance with frequency under alternating current conditions.

Conversion from impedance to admittance

Parts of this article or section rely on the reader's knowledge of the complex impedance representation of capacitors and inductors and on knowledge of the frequency domain representation of signals.

The impedance, Z, is composed of real and imaginary parts, Z = R + j X , {\displaystyle Z=R+jX\,,} where

Y = Z 1 = 1 R + j X = ( 1 R 2 + X 2 ) ( R j X ) {\displaystyle Y=Z^{-1}={\frac {1}{R+jX}}=\left({\frac {1}{R^{2}+X^{2}}}\right)\left(R-jX\right)}

Admittance, just like impedance, is a complex number, made up of a real part (the conductance, G), and an imaginary part (the susceptance, B), thus:

Y = G + j B , {\displaystyle Y=G+jB\,,}

where G (conductance) and B (susceptance) are given by:

G = R e ( Y ) = R R 2 + X 2 , B = I m ( Y ) = X R 2 + X 2 . {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}G&=\mathrm {Re} (Y)={\frac {R}{R^{2}+X^{2}}}\,,\\B&=\mathrm {Im} (Y)=-{\frac {X}{R^{2}+X^{2}}}\,.\end{aligned}}}

The magnitude and phase of the admittance are given by:

| Y | = G 2 + B 2 = 1 R 2 + X 2 Y = arctan ( B G ) = arctan ( X R ) , {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\left|Y\right|&={\sqrt {G^{2}+B^{2}}}={\frac {1}{\sqrt {R^{2}+X^{2}}}}\\\angle Y&=\arctan \left({\frac {B}{G}}\right)=\arctan \left(-{\frac {X}{R}}\right)\,,\end{aligned}}}

where

Note that (as shown above) the signs of reactances become reversed in the admittance domain; i.e. capacitive susceptance is positive and inductive susceptance is negative.

Shunt admittance in electrical power systems modeling

In the context of electrical modeling of transformers and transmission lines, shunt components that provide paths of least resistance in certain models are generally specified in terms of their admittance. Each side of most transformer models contains shunt components which model magnetizing current and core losses. These shunt components can be referenced to the primary or secondary side. For simplified transformer analysis, admittance from shunt elements can be neglected. When shunt components have non-negligible effects on system operation, the shunt admittance must be considered. In the diagram below, all shunt admittances are referred to the primary side. The real and imaginary components of the shunt admittance, conductance and susceptance, are represented by Gc and B, respectively.

Transmission lines can span hundreds of kilometers, over which the line's capacitance can affect voltage levels. For short length transmission line analysis, which applies to lines shorter than 80 kilometres (50 mi), this capacitance can be ignored and shunt components are not necessary in the model. Lines from 80 to about 250 kilometres (50 to about 155 mi), generally considered to be in the medium-line category, contain a shunt admittance governed by Y = y l = j ω C l , {\displaystyle Y=yl=j\omega Cl\,,} where

  • Y is the total shunt admittance;
  • y is the shunt admittance per unit length;
  • l is the length of the transmission line; and
  • C is the capacitance of the line.

  • A very specific and interesting topic!

    According to various news sources, Santa Maria Madre del Redentore a Tor Bella Monaca is a small Baroque-style church located in Tor Bella Monaca, a neighborhood in Naples, Italy. While I couldn't find any recent breaking news related to the church itself, here are a few recent developments and events that might be of interest:

    * In 2020, the church underwent some restoration work to preserve its damage caused by time and weather conditions.
    * In 2019, a group of local artists and musicians performed a concert inside the church, helping to raise funds for the restoration efforts.
    * The church is also occasionally used for weddings, baptisms, and other private events, which sometimes make local news.
    * Sometimes, historical and cultural events related to the church are organized in the surrounding area, such as concerts or processions, which may be featured in local news outlets.

    Keep in mind that news articles from smaller local sources might not always be widely translated or easy to access. Would you like me to provide you with more information on the church itself, its history, or the surrounding area?
