The distributor is fed at point A and has several loads at points C, D, and E, which draw currents I1, I2, and I3 respectively.
Since current flows from A to B, the section closest to A carries the combined current of all loads downstream.
From the above figure:
- Section AC carries the total current I1 + I2 + I3
- Section CD carries only I2 + I3
- Section DE carries only I3
- Section EB does not carry the sum of all loads.
Since AC is the first section from the feeder point A, it carries the sum of all currents, making it the section with the highest current.
