    Parallel generator, earthing and bonding

    Hello, can anyone advise on bonding of extraneous conductive parts when supply is from a generator run parallel with distribution network? There'll b a 200kva generator supplying spray booths that have a gas supply to them. The metal pipes aren't underground but connect to tanks outside sitting...

    Rheostats in parallel. Load sharing??

    Hi all. Hyperthetical scenario. Simple loop. 36V supply. 10 amps. So whatever resistor I place in the circuit to produce the 10 amps has to be capable of taking 360W. If I only have access to 200W capacity rheostats can I use two of them in parallell to share the load? Thanks

    Parallel paths on R1 + R2 test

    Hi there Doing some testing at moment. R1 + R2 readings coming in lower than R1 + Rn. Cpc neutral and live all disconnected. There is alot of containment on job and adaptable boxes are all fly leaded to earth. My thoughts are they are parallel earth paths but guy working with seems to think...

    Parallel earth path between 2 circuits

    I have a ring circuit (circuit 1) and a light circuit (circuit2) in a flat im working on and i have somewhere in the walls or ceiling a joined earth path. From what i have seen there is no obvious metal conduit, so it seems its either the ventilation system that is fed by the same ring and goes...

    Conductors in parallel......

    I was at a job on Friday in a big 4 storey house. One of the jobs I was there to do was to add sockets to a bedroom which actually didn't have any at all. The top floor sockets were on there own breaker, a 32A RCBO actually. There were two 4mm^2 T&Es at the RCBO so I initially thought it was...

    wiring led household bulbs - parallel of series

    Hi, looking for some advice. I'm doing a DIY project for a vanity mirror, with bulbs along the top of it. Each bulb is 7w. I've got some 5 port wago connectors, and have wired it with the live, neutral and earth from the plug connecting into individual Wagos. Then each bulb holder has a wire...

    Using SWA cables in parallel

    Hi A job that I'm currently looking at requires a 300A 3ph supply to a unit. The cable will be 100m long so the calc comes out at 240mm2. This cable is to be pulled down a duct, the main issue is it's weight and size will be a battle. I'm thinking of running two 95mm2 in parallel that would make...

    RLC in Parallel - Calculating instead of Drawing

    Morning all, Last night at college we moved on to RLC circuits in parallel, the type you'd typically find in a fluorescent light to correct power factor. We drew out some parallelograms to work out the true current usage and power factor after adding a capacitor. The lecturer said that's all...

    Parallel resistors

    I'm getting conflicting information regarding parallel resistors. I originally thought the below was how to calculate total parallel resistance 1. Rt= 1/R1+1/R2+1/R3 2. 1/Rt However in my pre exam workbook it says to 1. Calculate Rt as 1. above 2. Find the lowest common denominator 3...
