AC Thevenin's TheoremAny combination of sinusoidal AC sources and impedances with two terminals can be replaced by a single voltage source e and a single series impedance z. The value of e is the open circuit voltage at the terminals, and the value of z is e divided by the current with the terminals short circuited. In this case, that impedance evaluation involves a series-parallel combination.

AC Thevenin ExampleTo replace a network by its Thevenin equivalent, compute the Thevenin voltage: the output of the voltage divider formed by Z1 and Z3 . The Thevenin impedance is the impedance looking back from AB with V1 replaced by a short circuit and is therefore a a series-parallel combination.
