A short circuit in the power system is the result of some kind of abnormal conditions in the system. It may be caused due to internal and or external effects:-

1. Internal effects are caused by breakdown of equipment or transmission lines from deterioration of insulation in a generator, transformer etc. Such troubles may be due to ageing of insulation. inadequate design or improper installation.

2. External effects causing short circuit include insulation failure due to lightning surges. overloading of equipment causing excessive heating: mechanical damage by public etc.
