(R)
Resistors
in Parallel should be of the same rating,
placing a 1/2 watt in parallel with a 1 watt does not result in 3/4 watt.
Remember that 2 different values will always produce a value less then the
smallest entry. Example: 10, 20, 30 = 5.45 Ohms.
(L)
Inductors
in parallel is not a common practice, generally inductors are
in parallel with other components such as capacitors and resistors.
(C)
Capacitors
in parallel require voltage value considerations. Two .05 disc
at 25V will become 0.025 @ 50V Filter Capacitors in parallel remember to add the total DC voltage
rating.
Example: 5 - 80 MFD @ 250 VDC Electrolytics after calculation would be: 16 MFD @
750VDC
Result:
You may change the number of significant figures displayed in the result by
changing the number in the box above. Example: 10, 20 , 30 = 5.4545 Significant
Result set to = 5.
