"Vector" is a description of magnitude and direction, and can apply to any quantity that has magnitude and direction, such as an aircraft's flight path.

"Phasor" is a vector as used in alternating current electrical/electronic circuits.

Calculations are the same as for general-purpose vector math, but the quantities are typically phase angle, voltage, voltage, current, resistance, reactance and impedance.

Some calculations will use conductance, admittance and susceptance.

Similarities between scalar and vector quantities?

Scalar quantities - quantities that only include magnitude Vector quantities - quantities with both magnitude and direction


Is voltage a vector?

Yes, although we call it a phasor, rather than a vector. This is because voltage has displacement, rather than direction.


Current is vector or scalar?

the current has a magnetude and phase angle or a phasor which in polar form


Give you a phasor diagram of dyn 5 and dyn 11?

could you give a schematic diagram of vector dyn 1


What is a phasor diagram and why you draw it?

Theoretically, it can be drawn at any angle. Normally, however. it is drawn along the real, positive, axis (i.e. facing East). For series circuits, the reference phasor is the current and, for parallel circuits, the reference phasor is the voltage. For transformers, it is the flux.


What is the difference between Phasor and Vector?

Phasors are actually vectors but they represent something specific. Vectors can be used in many situations to represent anything that has magnitude and direction, and in any number of dimensions. Vectors can be used for exactly what phasors are used for, but use of the word 'phase' in 'phase-vector' or 'phasor' carries with it, some implied information: A phase-vector specifically represents a sinusoid by implying in it, a frequency of rotation about the origin point. A single phasor thus has an implied circular locus. The relevance of the angle is with respect to other phasors drawn in the same diagram and the conventional reference is what you would normally draw as the positive horizontal x axis on a common graph. Phase angles are measured in an anti-clockwise direction from that line. A phasor is actually drawn in the Argand plane which accommodates complex numbers. Therefore every location in the Argand plane can represent a phasor typically in one of the following forms: R + j X , R is the real-component and X is the imaginary component |Z|eja , where a s the phase angle (radians), Z is the magnitude of the vector. A( cos(wt) + j sin(wt) ), where w = 2 pi f f = frequency A = amplitude Note: phasors are often used in electronic engineering so the symbol j is used to represent sqrt(-1). In pure mathematics, the symbol i is used. The advantage of encoding so much information into the phasor is that it makes possibly difficult calculations into simple vector additions. For example, it is possible to consider a long phasor as a static reference on the diagram (even though it is implied to be rotating), and place on it's point, another small phasor that rotates compared to the reference. In this case, the dynamic vector sum of the phasors will describe something known as the 'capture effect' in FM radio.


How can calculate Dd6 Dy11 vector group of transformer?

By calculate do you mean calculate the connections required or phasor diagrams? full question would be helpful


Is impedance triangle a phasor diagram?

Most definitely not, as resistance, reactance, and impedance are not themselves phasor quantities. However, it is derived from a phasor diagram (by dividing a voltage phasor diagram by the reference phasor, current).


What are some similarities between a bitmap graphic and a vector graphic?

Photoshop can not save vector image but you can work with vector shapes inside Photoshop. There are many similarities, you can add elements to image like type, shape, change color... big difference is that you can not enlarge bitmap image without losing quality.

What is the difference between vector and phaser diagram?

A(t) = Am sin(ωt ± Φ) representing the sinusoid in the time-domain form. But when presented mathematically in this way it is sometimes difficult to visualise this angular or phase difference between two or more sinusoidal waveforms so sinusoids can also be represented graphically in the spacial or phasor-domain form by aPhasor Diagram, and this is achieved by using the rotating vector method.Ansh
