Re: Code related Theory question
Crossman?s disclaimer still stands.
One of the first lab assignments that is done in most basic wiring classes.
Switch paralleled with a light. turn on switch the light goes out.
This is the same principal as the question asked.
Yes, Crossman I like your illustration looks like you spent some time on it.
After looking at my first post the numbers didn?t look right so I ran this on simulator again using a switch to energize the 150k resistor after the circuit was running. I used resistors and inductors as the 200 amp load and there wasn?t a noticeable difference between them. The highest amperage over the 150k resistor when run with the switch was .013. I never did get the numbers I had the first time, might have entered the wrong values somewhere last night. There is one thing that might need mentioning here, (not every one reading this is a qualified person) these numbers are contingent on everything being perfect. A loose wire nut, terminal screw, split bolt or a damaged conductor WILL have a great effect on the amount of amperage the person would conduct in this illustration so PLEASE DON?T TRY THIS EVEN WITH A LOWER VOLTAGE. Let your meter be that person --- not you.
