what is overloading
Answers
overloading is loading more than the sufficient storage for example a truck can hold 80kg of sand if we keep 100kg of sand it cannot go this is known as overloading
➝ If too many electrical appliances of high power rating like electric iron,water heater,air conditioner etc. are switched on at a same time,they draw an extremely large current from the circuit This is known as overloading.
✎ Overloading can also occur if too many appliances are connected to a single socket.
✎ when a overloading occurs ,we should have some device which may disconnect the electric supply.so,the electric fires are prevented in our homes.
✎ To avoid this danger of electric fires we use an electric fuse in the wiring.so when a building is wired,the wiring is protected by fuses.
➝ Fuse :- A fuse is a safety device having a short length of a thin ,tin plated copper wire having low melting point which melt and breaks the circuit if the current exceeds a safe value.
