This is tough to describe but please help ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
In a design that I have there are 3 positive leads which power 2 seperate boards. (also 3 negative and ground but we can ignore them for now)
I have the current split from 1 of the 3 leads to power both boards, and the other 2 leads just power one board. So:
Lead 1: Powers board 1
Lead 2: Powers board 1 and 2
Lead 3: Powers board 2
Lead 1 is shorted to lead 2 through board 1, and same goes for lead 2 and 3 through board 2.
Sometimes only 1 board is on, and i would like the current to be shared by all 3 leads. Someone (who knows more than me) is trying to convince me that all of the current will flow through 2 of the leads when only 1 board is on, because the voltage drop along the 1 wire through the board and back up to the 2nd lead (maybe 0.1V) will render that wire useless.
Does that make sense? the idea is that all the wires would carry enough current to have a the same voltage, right?
