-
Their equivalent conductance is equal to the sum of the individual conductances, hence, always greater than the greatest individual conductance.

-
The division of the voltage by the loads is effected in the same ratio as that of their conductances.

-
In a parallel connection of consumers, the equivalent conductance is equal to the sum of the individual conductances; it is always greater than the greatest individual conductance.

-
In practice, calculations of conductances are required very seldom for unbranched circuits.
