[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 498598, member: 28452"] I think you will still struggle to get a sensible answer unless you can give more context, because A ring circuit is the common method of supplying household sockets in the UK, the word "closed" isn't generally included when discussing these. If you are an electrical apprentice surely someone has told you about the domestic ring circuit? An [B]open ring[/B] MIGHT be a description of a fault on such a ring circuit, where one or more of the conductors has become open circuit and hence is no longer forming a ring. Could that perhaps be what you question is getting at? i.e. what happens to the current distribution in such circumstances? Apparently though, as Tony has said above, the terms open and closed rings ARE used in a totally different field of electrical engineering, namely distribution of power around a town or city or perhaps a major industrial complex. So, could that be where you question is aiming? [/QUOTE]
