Put too much current through it.

Very carefully.

Why reducing current in circuit?

The current in a circuit is reduced to prevent the circuit from over load.

What is the maximum load of baseboard heaters that I can put on a 30 amp 220 volt circuit and still be at the code safety limit?

The load current must not exceed 30 amps. That's the safe limit.

An open circuit or a short-circuit (if that circuit is complete).

Are no load and short circuit similar?

No. No load and short circuit is not similar. No load can be 1) Either open circuit i.e. Only Potential is available and load is not connected 2) Load (i.e. motor etc ) is connected but not working with full load or full capacity. In this case the current will flow through the circuit depending on the load. It means No load condition is a condition where no current or a small ( relative / comparative term) current is flowing through the circuit. In Short circuit the load side resistance/ impedance become so less that very high amount of current is passing through circuit.( The protection is therefor required for any circuit) No load and and short circuit is not similar.

What happens when there is to much current in a circuit?

If you are talking about the circuits load being to large for the circuits capacity, then the circuits over current or over load protection will come into effect. The fault will open the circuit, thereby isolating the load from the electrical supply source.


What does a load do to the flow of electrical current in a series circuit?

A load increases the flow of electrical current in a series circuit. No load, no flow.


What is open circuit voltage when load is connected?

As load is conected in circuit , so thre is no open circuit therefore there would not be any open circuit voltage.

Is a switch considered a load?

No, a switch is not considered a load in an electrical circuit. A switch controls the flow of electricity to the load (such as a light bulb or motor) by opening or closing the circuit. The load is the component in the circuit that consumes the electrical energy.


Why is it not okay to use a fuse with a higher amperage rating in an electrical circuit?

The fuse is supposed to be the weakest link in the circuit. The circuit is rated to handle a specific load current. The wire and insulation rating of the circuit is governed by this specific load. If this load malfunctions and the load current becomes higher that what is specified, the fuse is there to break the circuit. A fuse of a higher rating than what is called for will allow a higher current to flow through the circuit which could cause the insulation on the wire to melt, the wire to burn open or components in the circuit to become unusable. Never over fuse an electrical circuit with a larger amp rated fuse.
