Steps to draw the Phasor diagram:

(a) For RL series circuit: (Refer Fig.1)


(i) Take a suitable scale for voltage.
(ii) Convert all the voltages i.e. VR, VrL and V to the selected scale
value.
(iii) Take current as reference phasor and draw it along horizontal
axis (X-axis).
(iv) Draw VR phasor along I phasor by taking its scaled value.
(v) From the end point (point ‘A’) of VR phasor draw an arc by taking
radius equal to the scaled value of VrL.
(vi) From the starting point (point ‘O’)of VR phasor draw another arc
by taking radius equal to Scaled value of V.
(vii) The two arcs drawn in step (v) and (vi) will cut each other at
point C.
(viii) Join the cutting point of arcs (point ‘C’) with the starting point of
VR(point ‘O’) to get phasor V and also join the cutting point (point
‘C’) of arcs with the end point of VR (point ‘A’) to get the phasor
VrL.
(ix) Now VrL phasor will be slanting. So resolve the VrL into two
perpendicular components as shown in fig.
(x) The horizontal component will give Vr (Voltage drop across
internal resistance of coil) as it is in phase with current.
(xi) The vertical component will give VL (Voltage drop across
inductance of the coil) as it is 900 leading from the current
phasor.
(xii) Now measure VL and Vr from the phasor diagram and convert
them to unscaled value.

(xiii) Now calculate different parameters (R, r, L) with the formulae


given below: Note: All the unscaled value of voltages should be
taken.

Note: You can take scale as 1V = 1mm to avoid conversion from original value
to scaled value or scaled value to unscaled value

Steps to draw RC phasor diagram: (Refer Fig. 2)

i) Take a suitable scale for voltage.


ii) Convert all the voltages i.e. VR, VC and V to the selected scale
value.
iii) Take current as reference phasor and draw it along horizontal
axis (X-axis).
iv) Draw VR phasor along I phasor by taking its scaled value.
v) At the end point (point A) of the VR phasor draw VC phasor by
taking its scaled value with 900 lagging from I phasor as voltage
across pure capacitance lags from the current phasor by an angle
900.
vi) Join the starting point (point O) of VR phasor with the end of the
VC (point B) phasor to get V (supply voltage) phasor as shown in
fig. 2
vii) Now calculate different parameters (R, C) with the formulae
given below: Note: All the original unscaled value of voltages
should be taken.

Note: You can take scale as 1V = 1mm to avoid conversion from original value
to scaled value or scaled value to unscaled value

Steps to draw RLC phasor diagram under the condition VrL >VC

i) Take a suitable scale for voltage.


ii) Convert all the voltages i.e. VR, VrL, VC and V to the selected scale
value.
iii) Take current as reference phasor and draw it along horizontal
axis (X-axis).
iv) Draw VR phasor along I phasor by taking its scaled value.
v) At the end point (point A) of the VR phasor draw VC phasor by
taking its scaled value with 900 lagging from I phasor as voltage
across pure capacitance lags from the current phasor by an angle
900.
vi) From the end point (point C) of VC phasor draw an arc by taking
radius equal to the scaled value of VrL.
vii) From the starting point (point O) of VR phasor draw another arc
by taking radius equal to Scaled value of V.
viii) The two arcs drawn in step (vi) and (vii) will cut each other at the
point E.
ix) Join the cutting point of arcs (point E) with the starting point of
VR to get phasor V and also join the cutting point of arcs (point E)
with the end point of VC to get the phasor VrL.
x) Now VrL phasor will be slanting. So resolve the VrL into two
perpendicular components as shown in fig. 3

xi) The horizontal component will give Vr (Voltage drop across
internal resistance of coil) as it is in phase or parallel with the
current phasor.
xii) The vertical component will give VL (Voltage drop across
inductance of the coil) as it is 900 leading from the current
phasor.
xiii) Now measure VL and Vr from the phasor diagram and convert
them to unscaled value.
xiv) Now calculate different parameters (R, r, L, C) with the formulae
given below: Note: All the unscaled value of voltages should be
taken.
