Question

please answer to this question ​

Answer 1

When the live wire and neutral wire comes in direct contact the current in the circuit abruptly increases .this is called short circuiting

Overloading is the flow of large amount of current in the circuit beyond the permissible value of current

Answer 2

hey Mate..

Overload is a condition when current is higher than system/ equipment nominal rated current. The flow of current is occurring through intended path. An equipment can bear temporary overload situation depending upon its design. ( e.g. if a motor is designed for rated current of 100A, it can bear temporary overload situation of say 105A). Overload if not cleared within time may result short circuit condition.

Short circuit is a condition when current flows through unintended path. Current magnitude is very high (depending upon system configuration like type of earthing etc) Such conditions are very severe for electrical systems. It should be detected and cleared as soon as possible to minimize damage.
