Question

Write 2 situation when excess flow of current takes place?

Answer 1

Answer:

In an electric power system, overcurrent or excess current is a situation where a larger than intended electric current exists through a conductor, leading to excessive generation of heat, and the risk of fire or damage to equipment. Possible causes for overcurrent include short circuits, excessive load, incorrect design, an arc fault, or a ground fault. Fuses, circuit breakers, and current limiters are commonly used overcurrent protection (OCP) mechanisms to control the risks. Circuit breakers and fuses protect circuit wiring from damage caused by overcurrent.

Answer 2

The current overflows or flows in excess in the following situations listed below:

• In an electric power system, excess current or overcurrent is a situation where a larger than the required electric current flows through a conductor which leads to the excess generation of heat, and also the risk of fire or any damage to equipment.
• Some of the possible causes for excess current flow are short excessive load, short circuits, incorrect design, a ground fault, or an arc fault.
• Current limiters circuit breakers and fuses are commonly used overcurrent protection (OCP) mechanisms to reduce the risks.
• Fuses and circuit breakers protect circuit wiring from any damage caused by the sudden flow of excess current.
