No. It only depends on the potential difference between the ends of the individual branch. If this is the power supply voltage, then the number of other branches doesn't matter.
Yes, an open in main line of a parallel circuit will effect the entire circuit current and make the whole circuit current zero
For any appliance or lamp to operate at its rated power, it must be subjected to its rated voltage. Every branch of a parallel circuit is subjected to the same (supply) voltage. This is the main reason; the secondary reason is that any break in a series circuit will de-energise all the appliances connected to it!
Feeder because the trolley will have overcurrent protection. Branch circuit is the final OCD to the load.
Yes, but then it would be a 'series-parallel' circuit, not a 'parallel' circuit!
For each individual branch, you can use Ohm's Law - just divide the voltage by the resistance.
The conductors between the service equipment and the final branch circuit include service conductors, feeder conductors, and branch circuit conductors. Service conductors connect the utility service to the service equipment. Feeder conductors distribute power from the service equipment to the panelboard or distribution board. Branch circuit conductors then carry power from the panelboard to individual outlets, fixtures, and appliances.
Each of the circuit breakers in the service panel controls electricity on a branch circuit. A branch circuit is typically a loop of wire that runs from the service panel, out to receptacles, light fixtures, appliances, etc. and back again.
sum the individual branch currents
The number of 20 amp branch circuits required for appliances depends on the total electrical load of the appliances. A general rule is to have one 20 amp circuit for every 600-700 square feet of living space. It is best to consult with an electrician to determine the specific requirements for your appliances.
run in a electrical system means a wiring & conduit runs coming from Panel Board Circuit Breaker to its branch circuit loads in a circuit. while circuit is a designated number of branch breaker in a panel board where power load was individual connected.
They can. The current in each "line" (correctly, *branch*) depends on (i) the applied voltage and (ii) the individual resistance in each branch. If the branch resistances are different, the branch currents will be different. Ohm's Law will let you calculate the individual currents.
A parallel circuit provides a path for current to flow to wall sockets and appliances in a home. In a parallel circuit, each device is connected in a separate branch from the power source, allowing current to flow independently to each device. This setup allows appliances to operate independently and provides a safety feature where one device can still operate if another fails.
One main part of any household branch circuit is its circuit breaker. It is designed to protect the electrical circuit from damage caused by current overloads or short circuits. It is designed to disconnect the electrical flow within a few milliseconds if it detects certain electrical faults. Then, to be able to provide power to the appliances and lights in the house, there must be fixed outlets and socket outlets supplied by the various branch circuits. Nothing can be provided with electrical power unless there is a main breaker panel to contain all the separate circuit breakers and also to provide the house with a main power on-off switch.
