Consider a simple, transformer with two windings. Find the current provided by the voltage source.

Winding 1 has a sinusoidal voltage of $120{\sqrt {2}}\angle {0}$ ° applied to it at a frequency of 60Hz.
${\frac {N_{1}}{N_{2}}}=3$
The combined load on winding 2 is ${Z_{L}}=(5+j3)\Omega$

${e_{1}}(t)={V_{1}}\cos(\omega t)$

$\omega =2\pi f$ , so $\omega =120\pi$

Therefore, ${e_{1}}(t)={V_{1}}\cos(120\pi t)$

Now the Thevenin equivalent impedance, ${Z_{th}}$ , is found through the following steps:

${Z_{th}}={\frac {e_{1}}{i_{1}}}$
