nettostroom
Nettostroom is a term used in Dutch electrical engineering to describe the actual current flowing through a conductor or circuit element after accounting for the combined effect of all connected sources and loads. It is measured in amperes and depends on the chosen direction convention. In practice, nettostroom represents the current that must be carried by a particular branch of a circuit.
In DC circuits, nettostroom in a given conductor or branch equals the algebraic sum of the currents
Nettostroom is a key concept in practical electrical design. It informs the sizing of conductors, insulation,
Related concepts include gross or rated currents, which describe potential or nominal values rather than the
