A parallel circuit is way of connecting components on separate branches, so the current can take different routes around the circuit. The current is different in different parts of a parallel circuit.

Series and Parallel Circuit Series and parallel circuits are two fundamental configurations in electrical circuits, each with distinct characteristics that affect how electricity flows through them.

Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...

Abstract: Since SiC power modules are being used more often in various applications, the parallel connection of such modules becomes more popular as well. This paper investigates the influence of ...

This Power Tip shows you how to do a quick conversion of parallel-to-series complex impedances (and vice versa). It also shows that a graphical representation of this transformation as a function of ...

Abstract: IGBT gate driver is the key component to ensure the stable operation of hybrid direct current circuit breaker (DCCB). A novel digital active gate driver (DAGD) for parallel-connected IGBTs ...
