Final ring circuit - can they be simplified to loads in parallel with each other?

newbieuser 7 months ago

Am I correct in simplifying a ring circuit like this in theory? Assuming the loads are the same 1ohms and the distance between each load is the same as well.

If you had even one load of 1 Ω, you will be in a spot of bother.

Well I was assuming that was a "thought experiment" by the original poster with easy numbers.
After all 250 A is a bit much for the 2.5mm2 and the 32a breaker! You probably get about 1/4 to 1/3 of a second before something lets go violently...

And, If it does not, then the company fuse will do the honours after a few seconds.
