By providing high insulation.....
Consumer circuit is a circuit that fixed between distribution line and consumer load control and protection unit is attached in order to prevent overload, leakage and short circuit.
That is called a short circuit.
If you get sparking in an electrical switch there is a loose connection or short in the circuit. The switch should be repaired or replaced.
The purpose of a circuit breaker is to open the circuit in the event of an overload. Wires/conductors are only rated for a specific Amperage. If this amperage is exceeded the conductor/wire begins to heat up and given enough time it becomes a fire hazard. For instance a 15 amp breaker will trip once the Amps drawn through that circuit exceed 15 amps. The short answer is to keep you safe.
because it can can cause fire or electrical shock.
RCBs are commonly used in applications where there is the need to combine protection against overcurrents and protection against earth leakage currents. MCBs are used to protect an electrical circuit from damage due to overload or short circuit.
Fuses do not provide protection against ground faults. Protection against a ground fault can be provided by breakers. If a fuse blows, it has to be replaced. If a breaker is tripped to off due to a surge in electrical current, the breaker can be reset.
No, once the switchis openedthere is no longer any voltage in the circuit to short out against.
A short circuit is determined by a low resistance between two conductors or between a conductor and the ground. <<>> The circuit's over current protection usually trips resulting in the circuit having no power.
An electrical fault is where the electrical current goes where it is not intended to go. Usually this is the quickest and shortest return path to the electrical supply service. An electrical fault will trip breakers and blow fuses in the circuit as protection to stop the short circuit.

No, overcharging cellphone will not cause an electrical short circuit.
Safety devices used in electrical circuits.AnswerA fuse is an overcurrent protection device, and will operate in the event of a sustained overload current or a short-circuit current.

To avoid any short circuit in a house we suppose to have electrical panel with proper size of circuit breakers. These breakers installed to feed a number of circuits in the house which is controlled by the Electrical Code. The breaker ampacity is depend on the load size (light circuits, outlets, microwave, dryer, furnace, cenral vacuum). The individual circuits are calculated depend on the size of the load (like motors, transformers sucking a lot more power, current when they start) and this will be the base to figure out the proper wire size for feeding the circuit. When a short circuit occurs at the farthers point from the breaker this overcurrent device suppose to open up the circuit to avoid overheating ang fire.
Short circuit fault.
