What is short circuit or overload circuit?
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 6 years, 9 months ago

When all the appliances are connected to the same socket, these appliances draw more current, and so the load increases. If the insulation on the wires is torn, two wires carrying current come into contact with each other directly. This causes a spark, which leads to fire. This is termed as a SHORT CIRCUIT.
If a fuse is not used, then overloading and short circuits result in fire.
