BEEE OBJECTIVE
02
Overview of Project
● We need to design the wiring system for a residential house, which involves planni
circuits to ensure safety and efficiency. Our primary components include commonly used
components in every residential setting like -
Switches
Fuses
Lamps
Indicators
Energy Meters
● Each house comprises multiple rooms, each with its dedicated circuit within the entire
wiring system. Therefore, we plan to apply Thevenin’s Theorem to determine the current in a
specific branch of the circuit.

BEEE THEVENIN’S THEOREM
03 THEVENIN’S THEOREM
“In a linear bidirectional and complex circuit having
a greater number of active and passive elements,
can be replaced by single equivalent circuit
(Thevenin’s circuit), consisting of equivalent
voltage source (VTH) connecting in series with
equivalent resistance (RTH ).”

Points to note -
Ø Thevenin’s Theorem is only applicable to Linear AC or DC circuits.
Ø VTH is defined as the open-circuit voltage between nodes A and B.
Ø RTH is the total resistance appearing between A and B when all sources are
deactivated.

General component used in Domestic Electric Circuit
1. Fuse: The fuse is a crucial safety device that protects the
electrical circuit from overloads and short circuits. It contains
wire that melts when excessive current flows, interrupting th
circuit to prevent damage or fire hazards.
2. Switch: A device that can open or close the circuit. It is used
turn on or off the power supply to a particular appliance or
light.
3. Indicator: A device that shows whether the circuit is on or off.
It is usually an LED or a bulb.

General component used in Domestic Electric Circuit
Lamp: A device that converts electrical
energy into light energy. It is connected
parallel with the circuit and can be cont
by a switch.
Energy meter: A device that measures t
amount of electrical energy consumed b
circuit. It is usually installed at the main
power supply to measure total amount
current of the building or household.

Circuit Diagram Explanation
1. Main Supply:
• The residential house is connected to the main power supply through an energy meter.
• The energy meter measures the total electrical energy consumption in the house.
2. Distribution Board:
• From the energy meter, the supply goes to the distribution board.
• The distribution board is equipped with multiple circuits for different rooms and appliances.
3. Circuit for a Room:
• Each room has its own circuit consisting of a fuse, switch, indicator, and a lamp.
• The fuse protects the circuit from short-circuiting due to overcurrent.
• The switch controls the flow of electricity to the lamp.
• The indicator shows whether the circuit is live or not.

STEPS –
Here are the essential steps to be taken for applying Thevenin’s Theorem for complex circuits-
Let us take an example for better understanding –
In the given diagram, we can observe that there’s
a voltage source of 220V which is going to
supply power to various components in the
circuit including the load resistance, 150K Ω in
this case. Let us follow these steps to calculate
current in the load resistance (RL) using
Thevenin’s Theorem.
12
BEEE
• Step 1 –
Firstly, remove the load resistance (RL) replacing it with an open circuit.
13
BEEE
• Step 2 –
Replace the voltage sources with short circuit and current sources with open circuit. This step is
done to have an ideal voltage source or an ideal current source for the analysis.
14
BEEE
• Step 3 –
Find the equivalent resistance (RTH) across the two terminals A and B.
15
BEEE
• Step 4 –
Find the equivalent voltage or open circuit voltage (V TH )
• Step 5 –
Draw the Thevenin’s equivalent circuit and do further calculations using Ohm’s Law to calculate
the current across the Load resistance.

Application of Thevenin’s Theorem
Thevenin's Theorem is used where the load can be varied.
So basically these methods reduce the big linear circuit into 1 source & 1 resistor (or impedance
in AC).
Later we can put any kind of load & measure the variations of current & voltages across the load.
The load can be a Fan, bulb, etc. So you can determine which component will be suitable to use.
Also where maximum power is required from source, this theorem is used to calculate required
load impedance or present source impedance for max power.
