Norton’s Theorem is especially useful in analyzing power systems where


system is complicated and other circuits one particular “load” resistor is
subject to change, and re-calculation of the circuit is necessary with each trial
value of load resistance, to determine the voltage across it and current
through it.
Introduction

Any linear electrical network containing only voltage sources, current sources, and


resistances can be replaced at terminals A-B by an equivalent combination of a Current
source IN in a Parallel connection with a resistance RN.
Need ? ?

Norton's Theorem provides an easy method for analyzing power circuits,


which typically has a load that changes value during the analysis process.
This theorem provides an efficient way to calculate the voltage and current
flowing across a load without having to recalculate your entire circuit over
again

How to Calculate Norton Equivalent

The equivalent current IN is the current obtained at branch A-B of the network with
terminals A-B Short Circuited .

Faculty Name: Dr. Lokesh Varshney Program Name: B.Tech.


Continue…..

The equivalent resistance RN is the resistance that the circuit between
terminals A and B would have if all ideal voltage sources in the circuit are
replaced by a short circuit and all ideal current sources are replaced by an
open circuit. That means all sources are replaced by their internal
resistance.

Example 1

Step 1 − In order to find the Norton’s equivalent circuit to the left
side of terminals A & B, we should remove the 2 Ω resistor from the
network by opening the terminals A & B. The modified circuit
diagram is shown in the following figure.

Firstly short circuited the terminal A-B. we can use nodal or mesh
analysis method. Here, We are using node analysis method. V1 is the voltage
from node 1 with respect to Ground and IN is the flowing current in 1ohm.
