Parallel-string current calculator
Parallel-string current
Parallel strings add current at their common voltage.
Iparallel=Nparallel×Istring
Calculator
Enter the values you know and leave one box empty. Calculate finds the empty one, the result or any input.
Worked example
Given
- Nparallel = 8 count
- Istring = 5.4 A
Iparallel=8×5.4=43.2
Symbols and units
| Symbol | Meaning | Unit |
| Iparallel | combined current | A |
| Nparallel | number of equal parallel strings | count |
| Istring | current from each equal string | A |
Results are estimates for study and screening. Check the inputs, units and assumptions before you use them for design, billing or contract decisions.
