2. Calculating voltage drops

2.1 Direct calculation

Direct calculation of voltage drops in any network, for a given frequency, is equivalent to calculating the electrical state of the network from known elements, using conventional network calculation methods:

  • Kirchhoff's laws;

  • mesh equations ;

  • node equations.

Quadrupole equivalent to a line
