If the question means "two loads in one circuit" then the load currents have to be added together. The breaker that protects the circuit is sized for the total loading of the circuit. These two loads of course will be in parallel with each other. Find the wattage of the two loads if the amperage is not available. The equation is W = A x V.
Watts = Amps x Volts. Once the total amperage of the circuit is found select the correct wire size for that amperage. The breaker protects the wire size so then select the proper breaker for that wire size.

Does siries circuit have to have two bulb?
You need at least two components in your circuit before you can tell whether it's a series circuit or a parallel one.
What is one and half breaker system in electrical lines?
One and half breaker system is an improvement on the double breaker system to effect saving in the number of circuit breakers. For every 2 circuits, 1 spare breaker is provided: Two feeders are fed from two buses via their associated circuit breakers and these two feeders are coupled by a third circuit breaker which is called tie breaker. During failure of any of the two feeder breakers, the power is fed via the breaker of the second feeder and main breaker (tie breaker).
What is a simple circuit with one or two inputs and one output?
The following are definitely examples of a simple circuit:-A resistor hooked across a battery-A lit bulbThe following might be examples of a simple circuit:-A Logic gate has one or more inputs and one or more outputs but is not necessarily a simple circuit within the chip containing it.
Why FET is an excellent buffer amplifier?
FET is an excellent buffer amplifier because it has an high input impedance by which when we are connecting two networks for transferring out put of one stage to another stage all the power is drown on the second network not on first network.if first stage network has an low input impedance then first circuit drown all power from second circuit.
Can you install two 220v receptacles for a welder in two different areas of your shop on the same circuit?
Technically no. In the USA the NFPA electrical code requires a separate circuit for each large appliance receptacle- there are a few exceptions (such as a heater and AC on same circuit) - I don't think the welder is one of the exceptions. In practice, as long as only one receptacle is used at a time, it will work fine Make sure that the wire size is correct for the current (amp) draw. This is taken off of the welder nameplate. Size the breaker to protect the wire size. If more that one welder gets plugged in the breaker will trip.
What protects against circuit failure?
Two examples of how to protect against circuit failure are fuses and circuit breakers.
Can short circuit occur when power is not used?
No because a circuit without power applied can only be shown to be a short circuit after the power is applied between the 'right' two points.
When two conductors leading from the power source touch medal to medal this is called a what circuit?
Short Circuit
What is the power consumption of the circuit, assuming a short-circuit and an open-circuit between A and BWhich resistance RL can you use such that the power consumption is the average of these two extreme cases?
here is the picture
Where is the circuit breaker for power windows on a 1998 olds 88?
My olds 88 has a fuse for the power windows. I don't think it has a circuit breaker. The fuse box for mine on the lower dash panel just above my left knee. There are mostly "blade type" fuses but there are also two silver can type fuses and one of these two is for the power windows. ( I think the other one if for the power seats)
What is circuit protectors?
Circuit protectors come in two different forms and their job is to protect the electrical circuit from damage from electricity. RCDs' (Residual Current Device) protects by monitoring the flow of electricity through the phase (live) and neutral wire. If it detects an imbalance it will cut off the power supply to that circuit. Fuses, and more commonly, circuit breakers, prevent too much electricity being drawn by the circuit. If the current drawn by the circuit is too much either the fuse will "blow" or the circuit breaker will trip and it will disconnect the power supply to that circuit.
Name type of circuit load which the apparent power is greater than the active power?
these two types of circuit loads are the purely capacitive loads and purely inductive loadsAnother AnswerApparent power will be larger than true, or active, power in ANY circuit, other than a purely-resistive circuit or an R-L-C circuit at resonance.
What does short-circuited mean?
Short circuit is when two phases or lines on the power circuit has be abruptly bridged, causing a protected electrical circuit to trip.
Can one branch circuit serve two bedrooms?
Yes, in the United States, one branch circuit can serve two bedrooms.
Why are two 30amps breaker together?
They are in tandem because they power a 220 VAC circuit, rather then a 110 VAC circuit.
How do you find the power of a bulb when potential difference and current is given?
E = Voltage of the circuit I = Current in the circuit R = Resistance in the circuit Ohm's Law states that given two variables in an electric circuit, the third can be calculated: R=E/I I=E/R E=I*R Power in any circuit can be calculated by one of the following: P=E*I P=I2*R P=E2/R
What is the difference between single pole mcb and double pole mcb?
A single pole circuit breaker can protect one hot wire to a given load where as a two pole circuit breaker can protect two hot wires to a given load. In the North American system this would equate to 120 volts on a single pole circuit breaker and 240 volts on a two pole circuit breaker.
