Total Parallel Current Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Total Parallel Current.
Ip = SUM ( Ix)
- Where Ip is the Total Parallel Current (amps)
- Ix is the 5 different currents (amps)
How to Calculate Total Parallel Current?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the Total Parallel Current.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the up to 5 different currents (amps). In this example, the up to 5 different currents (amps) is measured to be 12,6,2,6.
- Finally, calculate the Total Parallel Current using the formula above:
Ip = SUM ( Ix)
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation with the imputed values gives:
Ip = SUM ( 12,6,2,6) 26= (amps)
Example Problem #2:
Using the same process as example problem 1, we first define the variables outlined by the formula. In this case, the values are:
up to 5 different currents (amps) = 50,1,5,3
Entering these values into the formula above gives :
Ip = SUM ( Ix) = 59 (amps)
