In parallel wiring both headlamps get the power like two dogs pulling on separate leashes. That way, if one headlamp goes out the other still works. The other method of wiring, series, is like one dog's leash hooked to the collar of the other dog. If one leash (headlamp) breaks, both dogs quit pulling. It is a safety measure.
It is normal for fused circuits (such as those found in cars) to be wired in parallel.
This way they each enjoy a clean source of power without the previous circuit drawing power away had they been in series. Also, if a fuse blew on cicuit, each downstream circuit in the series would be powerless.
The power source for lighting circuit is generally 230VAC and each light fitting requires 230VAC to power the light. Therefore, you need to connect all light fittings in same circuit in parallel, in order to have same voltage (230V) across each light fitting.
Headlights are generally wired in parallel. This way, if one headlight is to burn out, the others remain lit.
Because if all the circuits were in series they would all fail when one went. Besides it would be a hard feat to figure out what voltage they would run on.
Parallel
Switches used in electrical circuits are wired in series with either a parallel or series load. In parallel loads, the switch is upstream from the parallel circuit, so that the switch will shut off all of the parallel circuits.

There are many different types of circuits, but, in basic electricity, perhaps the two most common types of circuits are parallel and series.A parallel-connected circuit is one in which the current divides into two or more flows with at least one load on each flow, whereas a series circuit has only one flow that passes through two or more consecutive loads. The input voltage to a parallel-connected circuit stays constant - so every branch of the circuit gets the same voltage from the power supply - but there is a different current flowing in each branch dependant on the resistance of the loads in that branch. Overall, no current gets lost because any current entering a particular junction (leading to branches) is always equal to the current leaving that junction.In a series-connected circuit the input current stays constant and the voltage is divided amongst the loads which are connected like links in a chain: each load component (a light, a resistor, etc.) is connected "head to tail" to the next one in the series circuit.A more complete answerActually there are four types of circuit, not two. These are series circuits, parallel circuits, series-parallel circuits, and complex circuits.'Complex circuits' (which are not necessarily complicated) describe any circuit that is not series, parallel, or series-parallel - a Wheatstone Bridge is an example of a complex circuit.The techniques for solving series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits cannot be used for solving complex circuits. Instead, network theorems, such as Thevenin's and Norton's Theorems must be used.
In a parallel circuit the failure of one bulb reduces the light of that one bulb. In a series circuit the failure of any bulb causes all bulbs to stop producing light because the circuit itself fails. A break in a series circuit stops the current flow to the whole circuit. A break in a parallel circuit stops the flow only in that parallel branch, not the whole circuit. This independence from system loss by one failure is a parallel advantage.
in parallel the voltage stays the same in parallell the current is shared in series the voltage is shared in series the current stays the same the main similarity between parallel and series circuits is when voltage increases, current increases.

series circuits are used in all safety's in hvac.
No. Parallel circuits are not fuses. Fuses can be used to protect parallel circuits.
The most common of all circuits used in industry and around the home is the parallel circuit. In industry all MCC controls are in parallel with the supply distribution and around the home all lighting circuits are in parallel with the supply distribution panel.
parallel
Parallel for main circuits and series parallel for lighting circuits.
All house wiring consists of parallel circuits.
The two main types are series and parallel circuits. From these two circuits comes combinations of different series parallel circuits depending on what end results you need.
Both series and parallel circuits are used What_types_of_circuits_are_used_in_homes. If the circuit is a dedicated circuit which means that there is only one device in the circuit, then it is a series circuit. All the rest will be classed as parallel circuits.
series circuits are used in all safety's in hvac.
