diffrence between over loading and short circuting
Answers
Answer:
short circuting
The circuit that allows the electric current to pass through the random path which has low resistance is known as the short circuit. The short circuit causes the heavy current which damages the insulation of the electrical equipment. It mainly occurs when the two wire touches each other or when the insulation between the conductor breaks down.
In the short-circuit the voltage at the fault point decreases to zero and current of irregular high value flow through the faulty point of the network.
Voltage is Zero
Current is High
It occurs when the neutral and live wire touch each other.
Loading
The term overloaded is referred to the circuit or devices. The circuit is said to have overloaded when more than the desirable load is applied to the circuit. The overload occurs because of the malfunctioning of the equipment or faulty circuits. Whereas the short-circuit condition occurs when the metal wires come in contact with each other or because of insulation failures. The resistance of the devices during the short circuit becomes zero due to which the heavy current flow through the network.
The overload means that load greater than the desired value have been imposed on the system.
The voltage becomes low, but cannot be zero.
The current is low as compared to short circuit.
It occurs when a large number of devices are joint in a single socket
