series parallel resistor max power

[jackferz]

hi

i have 3 resistors of different values (22,100,470) but same power rating each 500W. i want to connect them in series parallel way so that each one is used at max power i.e. 500W.

Attached is the circuit i have worked on. supply is 415V and i have each resistor in large quantity.

i have tried other circuits too but this one is consuming most power for each.

if some one else has different ways?

Hi jackferz,

I think the way you have the circuit is the way you can get the maximum power for all the components. I have made a minor change to increase the power being supplied to the 100 ohm resistor. The 470 ohm cannot get more power without the voltage going higher.

Hope this helps.
