3-b. When is there an overload in a circuit?

.An electrical overload is a situation where the wiring to or within a machine or system is subjected to a greater electric current load than it was designed to carry, leading to excessive heating of the wires and a possibility of fire. This excessive current load can be a result of electrical insulation failure (a short circuit) or human error.In an electrical overload, it leads to excessive heating of the wires and a possibility of fire.
