Short circuit is caused due to connection of earth and current wire.Because electrons start transferring from current wire to earth wire that is from high potential to zero potential and sparking occures due to electron transfering with high energy and heat is also evolved.

∙ 10y agoexample you have a one circuit means suddenly any problem occuring in your circuit means like as high I,v occuring means your circuit will get shorted because you already desgin you circuit this amount of ratings are available you have unlimitede means suddenly get shorted

in motors or underground cable general cause is failure of insulation.
in over head line some foreign particle like of bare conductor .

What are the major causes of loss of excitation on generators?
The major causes of loss of excitation on generators are due to an open circuit or a short circuit in the field winding. This may also be caused by a breakdown of the insulation system.
What causes gfci receptical to trip when fan is turn on?
There is likely an internal short circuit in the fan motor.
Is a megohm a short circuit?
No. A short circuit would be zero ohms.
What causes a current in an electric circuit?
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
Short circuit example?
An example of a kind of short circuit is an arc welding.
What causes a short circuits?
-circuit damage -overheating -fire or explosion causes a short circuit.
Can switchboard explosion cause short circuit?
A short circuit is what usually causes a switchboard explosion.
What a short circuit?
A circuit with very little (or no) resistance, that causes and unintended crossing of the circuit pathways.
In an electrical circuit a voltage difference is?
Volt difference causes a short circuit! ChaCha
What causes the 10amp radio and heater fuse to blow in a 1990 Cadillac Deville?
short circuit in the circuit
What causes fuses to blow in a 2000 Chevy S10?
Circuit overload?Dead short to ground?
What causes gasses in a battery?
Overcharging (bad voltage regulator) or a short circuit inside the battery.
How do you know when you have a circuit?
tuned circuit
What two wires touching causes a short circuit?
the red wire and the blue wire A touching of two wires coming from any potential power source will cause a short circuit Short circuit relates to the quickest path back to the source with out any resistance to the current flow.
What are the major causes of loss of excitation on generators?
The major causes of loss of excitation on generators are due to an open circuit or a short circuit in the field winding. This may also be caused by a breakdown of the insulation system.
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.
What causes gfci receptical to trip when fan is turn on?
There is likely an internal short circuit in the fan motor.
