Electrical overloads are caused by the load amperage increasing above what it should normally be. On a motor load this could be a request for the motor to do more work than the motor is capable of, working outside of its HP rating. In a house circuit an overload is created by plugging more devices into the circuit than the circuit breaker can handle. Again the load current will be higher than the circuit will allow and the circuit will open by the tripping of the breaker.

What causes electrical explosions?
The causes of the electrical explosions is if the voltage of the electricity come down below 110 volts or become higher than 120 volts, it will explodes so you have to use an transformer into it.
What causes a male electrical plug to weld it self to the female electrical plug plug in?
A current higher than what the plug is rated for will cause that type of condition.
What causes the electrical polarity of the armature to reverse?
poles of an armature can be reversed by the arrangement of split-rings
When you pull out the plug connected to an electrical appliance you often observe a spark to which property of the appliance is this related?
I think it is due to the resistance to the electrical appliance, the resistance offered by the electrical appliance works as a load in the circuit and when load is removed it causes sparking.
Is thunder an example of electrical energy?
No, thunder is a result of lightning lightning on the other hand is an example of electrical energy, it is called static discharge,or static energy... Thunder is usually classified as sound energy, i.e. a pressure disturbance travelling through the air. The atmospheric electrical discharge that we call "lightning" causes sudden heating of the air, which causes its sudden expansion, which is what produces the pressure disturbance.
What protects circuits from current overloads?
Electrical circuits are protected by: 1) Fuses 2) Circuit Breakers and/or 3) Fusable links
What is ballast resistance?
A ballast resistor is an electrical device inserted into a circuit to compensate for changes arising from temperature fluctuations. It helps regulate voltage flowing in an electrical system to avoid overloads or battery damage.
How does a fuse help protect against fire?
It regulates the amperage to prevent electrical overloads. If a surge occurs which is too great for the fuse to handle, it blows out, and interrupts the circuit.
What causes tinnitius?
Electrical impulses
What is an electrical current and what causes it?
Electrical current is nothing but movement of electrons in case of metals. It causes heating and produces magnetic field.
What causes a current in an electrical current?
Electrons flow because of electrical attraction and repulsion.
What causes an electrical surge in a apt?
shortage in the electrical cored meaning you need to move out quick
What is a motor p-lead?
Thermal Overloads
Oxidized wire causes what?
increased electrical resistance
What causes heat in a computer?
the electrical resitance in the components.
What causes magnetic forces in electrical systems?
friction
What kind disability is epilepsy?
No. It is a condition where someone has a tendency to have seizures. Why this happens varies from person to person. There are many forms of Epilepsy and many causes. But it is not a disease. It is not infectious or anything like that.
