No, not directly. The supply voltage has to rise or the resistance has to fall to get over-current. If there was a secondary control voltage that was part of a voltage control circuit for a higher voltage, it is conceivable that a voltage drop in control circuit could cause an over-voltage in the supply.
Motors are constant power devices, so this could be true for a motor. If you have a 1hp motor (loaded at 1hp), it will want to draw 1hp of power no matter the supply voltage. If the voltage dips, the motor will require more current to keep it spinning at it's normal speed.

∙ 10y agoIt is a condition in a circuit when the current goes higher than what the wire of the circuit is rated for. A circuit breaker protects the wire that feeds the load. If for some reason, load shorts out or circuit feed conductors short out by touching each other, the breaker or fuse opens the circuit and disconnects the supply source.

What is the effect of voltage reduction on three phase induction motor?
Voltage reduction usually results in an increase in load current which, ultimately, will cause the machine's overcurrent protection to operate and disconnect the motor. This overcurrent may also result in increased voltage drops along the supply lines that can exacerbate the situation as well as affecting other consumers that share the same supply.
Why is low voltage circuits separated from higher voltages?
avoid crosstalksafety, a short between them could cause hazardous voltages where none are expectedprotect low voltage equipment from damageetc.
What is PDB in electrical engineering?
PDB could stand for power distribution board, normally a low voltage (below 1000V) board used in industrial applications. Typically contains about 20 circuit feeds, each one will have a fuse or a Miniature Circuit Breaker for overcurrent protection of the circuit it feeds. Normally fed in the UK by a 3 phase 415V supply.

Is cat5 wire considered low voltage?
Yes. cat6 is low voltage / signal wire.
What makes relays click repeatedly when engine is trying to start but will not?
Low voltage, either caused by low system voltage, or faulty wiring or connection.

What does it mean when the check gauges light comes on for a jeep Cherokee?
It means that one or more of the gauges is out of the safe zone. It could be oil pressure low, voltage high or low, or an engine overheat.It means that one or more of the gauges is out of the safe zone. It could be oil pressure low, voltage high or low, or an engine overheat.

Will a 2002 chrysler voyager still run if you take the battery cables off?
Maybe. The engine computer is the voltage regulator, with the battery disconnected it may not be able to control the alternator output voltage correctly. This could cause it to go low or high.Maybe.

Where could one locate Malibu low voltage lights?
The Malibu low voltage lights can be purchased at HomeDepot, Amazon and also from eBay. The company also has a website from which products may be purchased direct.
How many volt in low voltage?
There are three main categories of low voltage. It depends on what type of system the voltage belongs to, as each system has a bottom end or low voltage assigned to it.
Electrical Properties of Transformers why you use it?
Transformers are used to convert electricity from high voltage to low voltage and from low voltage to high voltage.

A fuse has low melting point why?
This is necessary because a fuse is a protection against an overcurrent; excessive current produce melting.
