"Overloading" a function means that you have multiple functions with the same name, but different signatures. The signature of a function is its return type and number/types of parameters.
For example:
void foo(int a, char b)
can be distinguished from
void foo()
which can be distinguished from
void foo(double a)
which can be distinguished from
void foo(int a)
The program will call the correct function based off of the number and types of parameters it is given. So:
foo(1) will call the 4th example
foo(1.0) will call the 3rd example
foor() will call the 2nd example
and foo(1, 't') will call the 1st example
Note that MOST programming languages do not allow you to distinguish between function signatures by return type, thus:
void foo()
and
int foo()
is not allowed.
Function overloading should not be confused with function overriding. Overriding involves inheritance and is related to polymorphism.
If you are asking about an electrical overload, the circuit can't handle the load. Circuit breakers or fuses protect us from an electrical fire. Most protection in homes is a 15 amp fuse or CB except in the kitchen or laundry room where they may be 15 or 20 for standard outlets (Your electric drier uses 220 volts from a 30/40 amp Fuse or CB. The over load may occur when the demand for power exceeds the Fuse/ CB. 15 amps=Voltage (110)X Amps (15) or 1650 watts. When the circuit opens (No power) note the watts of each device. "Hair drier 1100 watts, lights 120 watts and then mom starts to vacuum 1300 watts. Total 2520 watts That is 870 watts too much. With out the Fuse or circuit breaker the wires in the walls and ceiling would get hot and burn. I hope this helps, I have taught this many times because it is so important.
In electrical engineering, LOAD refers to:
1. Impedance that draws current/power
2. Power or
3. Current.
Overload means more than the rated load that the system/circuit can actually handle. Overloading results in excessive heating in the machine and the possible damage/failure of the equipment.
The most common meaning of the word 'overload' is 'to place too much load on something.' Other definitions are similar, such as an electrical overload, which is placing too much electricity on one line or generator.
Overloading or overclocking is when your system starts to overheat from running and processing so much in a time where it cannot cool down.
Overload generally means that something is too much of a burden or too much of an amount. It can also mean to put too much of something onto something else.

Sustained overload is overload that is continuous, or permanent. A resistive load is a good example. This is the kind of overload you get from simply plugging too many items into a circuit. Transient overload is overload generated by a reactive load, a momentary short circuit, or other temporary condition. An example of a reactive load is the compressor of an air conditioner starting. This kind of overload can be caused by a reactive load being added to an already moderately loaded circuit.
A: Overload is a term used to describe a condition whereby a circuit is overstressed by additional loads imposed to it. Overload can be as small quantity or a very big quantity it depends on the circuit as it is stressed.
