Question

What is the difference between short circuit and over loading?

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Short circuit occurs when there is a fault between the line to earth while overload occurs when an equipment draws excess current from the supply.

(b) Short circuit usually takes place when neutral and live wire touch each other while overload occurs when the number of devices joint in a single socket are more.

Following are the difference between short circuit and overload:

$\LARGE\star\mathfrak{\underline{\underline{\purple{answer: }}}}$

(a) Short circuit occurs when there is a fault between the line to earth while overload occurs when an equipment draws excess current from the supply.

(b) Short circuit usually takes place when neutral and live wire touch each other while overload occurs when the number of devices joint in a single socket are more.

(c) During short circuit, the current is high whereas in overload, the current is comparitively low

Short Circuit occurs when neutral wire and live wire touch accidentally providing a very low resistance path for current. ...

Overloading of the circuit occurs when large number of appliances are connected in a single socket. This causes a large amount of current to flow and the fuse may blow off....
