Short circuit: A short circuit occurs when an electrical current deviates from its normal path,
typically due to a fault in the wiring or a component failure. This causes a large amount of
electrical current to flow, which can cause damage to the wiring, components and
appliances.
Overloading: Overloading occurs when the electrical power being drawn by an appliance or
circuit exceeds the amount allowed by the circuit breaker or fuse. This can cause damage to
the appliance, the circuit, or both.
