No. The secondary cardholder's credit history has nothing to do with the primary cardholder's. The reason for this is even if there are two cards, there is still only one account for both cards which the primary cardholder is responsible.

If you are not the primary person on the mortgage is you credit rating affected?

As long as you are on the mortgage it will show on your credit report and effect you credit no matter if you are the primary, secondary or co-signer


If you have been given a credit card as a secondary card holder and have bad credit will this help rebuild your credit or is it all reported on the primary cardholder history?

Secondary credit cards are a very BAD idea ! Responsible usage of the card remains the 'problem' of the primary account-holder. If YOU misuse the card - THEY take the consequences ! If you fail to make payments on time (or miss a payment) - THEIR credit rating suffers ! Most credit card companies will issue cards to people with bad credit history - they just charge a higher interest rate, and give you a low credit limit. Once you prove you can be responsible with the account (by making the payments on-time and staying within your credit limit) - they'll usually lower the interest rate, and increase your limit.


Do Joint Credit Cards Help Build Good Credit?

Joint credit cards can work both ways. Since the credit card account is placed on both holders' credit accounts, the activity on the card as a whole affects both parties equally. So, if the card is maintained properly, it can help improve credit. However, if one of the card holders abuses the card and ranks up thousands of dollars in debt, it can adversely affect the other holder's credit rating.

What is impedance voltage in a transformer?

Power transformers have an impedance (Z) rating that is listed in %. So the nameplate might state 5% Z for example. What this means is that when the secondary conductors are bolted together then 5% of the rated primary voltage is applied and will generate 100% current in flow in the secondary. Example: you have a 75KVA Delta-Wye 5% Z transformer with a 480V primary rating and 208/12 secondary rating. The amp rating of the secondary is 208A [75,000/(1.732x208)] So if you applied 24VAC to the primary with the secondary bolted together with busbar then you would have 208A of current flow.


If the primary creditor defaults on credit card will the secondary's credit rating be affected if they're not spouses?

How do you calculate current flow transformer when 240 Vrms is supply?

The secondary current of a transformer is determined by the load and the secondary voltage applied to that load, and this, in turn, will determine the primary current by the inverse of the turns ratio. However, if you are asking about a transformer's rated secondary and primary currents, then you need to divide the transformer's apparent power rating (expressed in volt amperes) by the rated secondary and primary voltages respectively.
