Series, Parallel and Series-Parallel Configuration of Batteries

By Bharat Ribadiya -
Types of battery connection:

1-Series connection
2-Parallel connection
3-Series-parallel connection

1-Series connection of batteries

In the shown in fig A the batteries are connected into the series. In the series connection of batteries the positive terminal of battery is connected with negative terminal of other battery. By connecting batteries into series, current will be same throughout the circuit but the voltage is different and the total voltage can be found by addition of all voltage.

V = V1+V2+V3+.......Vn

In the figure, the two 12 V, 100 Ah batteries are connected in the series so, total current will be in circuit is 100 A but voltage is 24 V (12 V + 12 V).

2-Parallel connection of batteries

In the shown in fig B the batteries are connected into the parallel. In the parallel connection of batteries the positive terminal of battery is connected with positive terminal of other battery and negative terminal of battery is connected with the negative terminal of the other battery. By connecting batteries into parallel, voltage will be same throughout the circuit but the current is different and the total current can be found by addition of all current.

I = I1+I2+I3…+In

In the figure, the two 12 V, 100 Ah batteries are connected in the parallel. so, total voltage will be in circuit is 12 V but current is 200 Ah (100 Ah + 100 Ah).

3-Series-Parallel connection of batteries

If pair of batteries connected with the pair of other series batteries into parallel then its configuration of batteries called as series-parallel connection of batteries.

In the Figure C, the six batteries of 12 V, 100 Ah are connected into series-parallel connection.

here, B1 & B2 in Series, B3 & B4 in Series, and B5 & B6 in series and then all these pair of batteries are connected in the parallel. So, total voltage and ampere-hour would be 24 V (two 12 V batteries are connected in series) and 300 Ah (100 Ah for each pair of batteries)

In this article you will learn about how to do three phase wiring in home. Generally, the elctrical supply provider company install single phase energy meter for where requirements is 7.5 kW load in domestic areas but if this limit exceeded then they install 3-phase meter. For this we required following things. Requirements- Required Materials Number Three phase energy meter 1 Three pole, 63 A, MCCB 1 Double pole, 63 A, 30 mA, Trip current RCD 3 Double Pole MCBs, 63A 3 Single Pole, 20A, MCB 6 Single Pole, 16A, MCB 3 Single Pole, 10A, MCB 6 Distribution board cases 3 Cupper strips for MCB Common connection 3 Here, the connected load is single phase. their is no 3 phase load connected to the 3 phase system. The 3 phase wiring are used because our load is more then 7.5 kW. Now, let's start the procedure how to install 3 phase wiring for your home. Figure 1- 3 phase winding in home As shown in the...

In this article we learn about how to control a lamp with 3 different switches at different places. This is very useful. For doing this we required two 2-way switch, 1 intermediate switch and a lamp. Connect all these as shown as in the below diagram. Fig.-1 In the above diagram the lamp is on because the circuit is in closed condition.To understand easily the circuit diagram for this, is given below.  Fig.-2 In this case the lamp(bulb) is in off condition. So, the circuit is open condition. Here, one more example is given.  How you can turn on/off a lamp or bulb from six different places. For this we required four number of intermediate switch, two number of 2 way SPDT switch and 1 bulb. Connect all these components as shown as in the figure below. Fig.-3 What is Intermediate switch , its construction and working principle? Fig.-4 An intermediate switch have four terminals. Because of this terminals it is possible to change the flow of the cu...

Automatic UPS system wiring for home or office This article is about how to connect a UPS system in our home or office and this is very useful information.  The below circuit diagram shows the how to connect a UPS from our main supply to appliance(load). This circuit diagram is for in case of falling the main power supply and you want to supply power to specific appliances, TV, AC, laptop etc. in your home or office.  As shown as, two rooms are connected with main power supply.  Here, you don't have to connect the neutral wire connection from UPS because it's already connected the phase and neutral wire from the main power supply with the same point. To connect UPS first you have to remove the connection of phase wire from the main distribution box(from SP,DP or CB) of those rooms which you want to connect with UPS. By doing this(connect with both supply), we can use the power without interruption. If main power fails the UPS will provides the power ...
