Enter the up to 5 different voltage drops into the calculator to determine the Series Voltage. 

Series Voltage Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Series Voltage. 

Vseries = SUM (Vd)

Variables:

  • Where Vseries is the Series Voltage (volts)
  • Vd is the up to 5 different voltage drops 

How to Calculate Series Voltage?

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed in order to calculate the Series Voltage.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the up to 5 different voltage drops. In this example, the up to 5 different voltage drops is measured to be 4,3,10.
  2. Finally, calculate the Series Voltage using the formula above: 

Vseries = SUM (Vd)

Inserting the values from above into the equation yields: 

Vseries = SUM (4+3+10) = 17 (volts)

Example Problem #2: 

Using the same process as the first example, define the variables outlined by the formula. In this case, these values are:

up to 5 different voltage drops = 14, 41, 3

Entering these values into the formula or calculator above gives us:: 

Vseries = SUM (14+41+3) = 68 (volts)
