A circuit breaker shuts down and can be reset. (A fuse does not "shutdown", it fails, or blows, or breaks and cannot be reused.)

What devices shutdown immediately if a short circuit occurs?
A circuit breaker shuts down and can be reset. (A fuse does not "shutdown", it fails, or blows, or breaks and cannot be reused.) "Immediately" usually has a small delay and nothing is instantaneous.
How does a short circuit occaur?
Short circuit occurs when positive and negative terminals are connected directly.
When you will get to know that short circuit will happen?
1. That if a short circuit occurs we will get a sign before short circuit will happen or not ? 2. what we can do ? 3. how fuse can get a short circuit ? 4. which wires we have to use from preventing short circuit ?
How does short circuit occur?
short circuit occurs when two wire which consist of one live and neutral wire are in contact with the main and the other end of the wire are touched each other short circuit occurs
What occurs when a pathway through which electrical charges can move forms suddenly?
If that pathway is to ground, it is called a short circuit. It should blow fuses or circuit breakers but can cause fires if protective devices are not functioning right.
What happens in a short circuit occurs in an electric circuit?
A short circuit is a condition whereby a point or section of the circuit offer a short path for current to return to the power supply. It occurs when two or more points or sections of the circuit touches each others (but only and only if that results in drop in resistance to such an extent that it causes excessive current to flow through.
How do you generate short circuit current?
A short circuit occurs when the hot side of the supply comes in contact with ground.
How can short circuit damage devices?
It depends if the short are before or after the device. The short circuit will cause high amperage trough the device and then blown. (JP)
What blows the fuse for the fuel pump in a 2003 Pontiac grand am?
Usually the fuse blows because of a short circuit. A short circuit occurs because one of the wires in the circuit is exposed (ie. the insulation has been worn down to the point the wire is exposed and may touch the metal on the car, once that occurs the electricity rushes thru the wire and the fuse is not able to handle the addition current (the current is beyond the fuses capacity) The fuel pump has other electrical devices on the same circuit, any of those devices if they ground (ie wire in contact with the frame of the car) will blow that circuit and all of the devices on the circuit will not work. The repair is to find the wire causing the circuit to overload and blow. Hope this helps
What is the effect on the current when a short circuit occurs?
The current increases.
What happens when a short circuit occurs in the oven?
Usually the breaker will trip.
How short circuits occurs?
A short circuit usually occurs when the insulation between wires breaks down and they become accidentally connected together.
