What is Overloading in Electricity? Causes of Overloading
An electrical overload is an excessive current relative to the normal operating current, but one which is confined to the normal conductive paths of the circuit. Overloads are often between 1,35 and 6 times the normal current level. When a circuit is overloaded, the plasticizers in the insulation are vaporized over a long period and the insulation becomes brittle. Continuous overloads can ...
