Can you run parallel 4 ought aluminum conductors in the same 4 inch conduit?

Yes. Actually they should be run in the same conduit. You don't ever want to run parallel separately.


What are the disadvantages and advantages of parallel circuit?

Abraham Lincoln preferred them to perpendicular circuits.


What are the disadvantages of parallel connection?

Disadvantages of parallel wiring for circuits include that they need more wiring and there are many paths running next to each other. When you add more things to the wiring, the current draws on the same source and goes up.


What are disadvantages to a house being wired in a series circuit?

There are no disadvantages to the use of parallel circuits in houses. As the rated power of any appliance is dependent upon it operating at its rated voltage, then a parallel connection is the only method of achieving this. Furthermore, in the case of lighting circuits, for example, should one lamp fail, the parallel connection ensures that the remaining lamps will continue to work normally.


What are the disadvantages of using a parallel circuit?

What is arguably the major disadvantage of a parallel circuit is that as you add more and more things in parallel, the current draw on the source goes up and up and up. If the source cannot supply the current that is "demanded" by the devices all strapped across the so-called "rails" of the circuit, the voltage will (must!) decrease. This could be very bad, as some devices, notably motors, don't like to run at low voltage and can actually be damaged if voltage sags too much and they don't have undervoltage protection. Fortunately, we have a pretty good power grid in many places, and this isn't a problem. Additionally, many devices have undervoltage protection built in, and they'll "trip" and shut down if voltages sag to a preset threshold.
