ELECTRICAL EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT
CURRENT = VOLTAGE DIVIDED BY RESISTANCE
OHMS LOW R2 R1
EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT RESISTANCE = R1+R2+R3+R4
WHERE:
R1 = NEGATIVE CABLE RESISTANCE ohm
R2 = TANK STEEL RESISTANCE ohm CURRENT
R3 = GROUND BED RESISTANCE ohm V
R4 = POSITIVE CABLE RESISTANCE ohm OUTPUT
CURRENT = PROTECTION CURRENT DEMAND in ampere
VOLTAGE = DRIVING POTENTIAL in volt R3 R4
