A way of joining two or more electricity-producing devices (i.e., PV cells or modules) by connecting positive leads together and negative leads together; such a configuration increases the current.
To join electrical devices, such as speakers, so that matching terminals are connected in sequence (plus "+" to plus "+" and minus "-" to minus "-") so that current is supplied to each device at the same time.
A connection between two or more energy providing devices which results in the amperage increasing. The connection must be: positive to positive or negative to negative.
A circuit in which battery poles of like polarity are connected to a common conductor.
Term used to describe the interconnecting of PV modules or batteries in which like terminals are connected together. Increases the current at the same voltage.
Connecting two or more devices across the same terminals so that each device carries the full applied voltage. In loudspeakers, parallel connection of two identical units halves the impedance seen by the power amplifier, which can create problems with amplifiers not able to drive low impedances. For example, two 6-ohm loudspeakers operating together will present a 3-ohm load, which is below the safe operating load range for many power amplifiers. This is a consideration in the A, B, A+B loudspeaker switching feature of A/V receivers. See Series Connection.
Parallel port connections for scanners are very common. The data transfer isn't as fast as SCSI; however, they are generally easier to install and use.
The arrangement of cells in a battery made by connecting all positive terminals together and all negative terminals together. The voltage of the group remains the same as the voltage of the individual cell. The capacity is increased in proportion to the number of cells.
A method of wiring batteries together by connecting the positive terminal of the first battery to the positive terminal of the second and the negative terminal of the first to the negative of the second. The capacity for batteries connected in parallel becomes additive, while the voltage remains the same as the individual battery.
Connecting all the positive or all the negative poles of several batteries. This increases the capacity of a battery network while maintaining a constant voltage.
Electrical connection where the positive terminals of a number of devices (ie PV modules) are connected together as well as their negative terminals. The resulting output voltage of the devices is equal to the average of the devices and the total current is equal to the sum of the current of all the devices connected in parallel.
The arrangement of cells in a battery made by connecting all positive terminals together and all negative terminals together, the voltage of the group being only that of one cell and the current drain through the battery being divided among the several cells. See Series Connection.
The interconnecting of PV modules or batteries in which like terminals are connected together (i.e. positive to positive, and negative to negative) Increases the current while keeping voltage the same.
Where fuel cells are connected in parallel, they are able to supply a higher current than they could individually.
A connection in which the TVSS equipment is connected between current carrying conductors and neutral. There is a length of wire necessary to connect the TVSS components to the phase conductors and neutral.
A wiring configuration used to increase current (amperage). Parallel wiring is positive to positive (+ to +) and negative to negative (- to -). Opposite of a series connection.
A way of joining photovoltaic cells or modules by connecting positive leads together and negative leads together; such a configuration increases the current, but not the voltage.
