Question

What do you mean by overloading of electric current?

Answer 1

When applied to motor circuits an overload is any current, flowing within the normal circuit path, that is higher than the motor's normal Full Load Amps (FLA). A short-circuit is an overcurrent which greatly exceeds the normal full load current of the circu

Answer 2

Answer:

An overload occurs when you draw more electricity than a circuit can safely handle. ... If there were no breaker in the circuit, an overload would cause the circuit wiring to overheat, which could melt the wire insulation and lead to a fire.
