- - There are basically two types of equalizing, voltage and current.
Voltage equalizing is needed for seriesed components which can be
dominoed by one component receiving too much voltage. A common example
is a string of electrolytic capacitors -- wherein equal voltages are
provided by a voltage-divider consisting of a parallel string of
same-value resistors.
- Current equalizing is needed for seriesed components which can be
dominoed by too much current. Current-equalizing seriesed components
is a bit easier thanks to Kirchoff's current law which tells us that
the currents are already equal in a series circuit. . . In other
words, when one has a lilly, attempting to guild it may not turn out to
be a very good idea. Or, if something doesn't need fixing, don't.
