- Faulty Insulation: Old or damaged insulation allows neutral and live wires to touch, which can cause a short circuit. Nail and screw punctures as well as age can cause wire casings or insulation to deteriorate and allow short circuits.
- Loose Connections: Attachments can loosen, sometimes allowing neutral and live wires to touch. Fixing faulty wire connections is difficult and sometimes requires working with live wires.
- Appliances: Old or broken appliances can develop shorts over time. Short circuits in appliances can occur in the plugs, in the power cords or inside the device. It’s best to have a technician look at shorts in larger appliances like ovens and dishwashers.
