If this is in a house, just watch the meter used by the power company for power. It is easier if the meter is the older type with the spinning wheel. First see how fast the wheel is spinning or how much energy is being used normally, no circuits turned off. Second go to your circuit breaker panel. Turn off all circuits except for the main. Check your meter to see if it has stopped moving, or if energy is no longer consumed. If it hasn't, your short is between your meter and the main switch. If it has stopped, go back to the panel and turn on each of the circuits one at a time until you find the one that consumes the most energy or spins the wheel the fastest. From here you will know which circuit to troubleshoot and repair if necessary.
What else can I help you with?
When you will get to know that short circuit will happen?
1. That if a short circuit occurs we will get a sign before short circuit will happen or not ? 2. what we can do ? 3. how fuse can get a short circuit ? 4. which wires we have to use from preventing short circuit ?
What would have caused your 40 amp fuse to blow?
What Causes Any Fuse to "Blow?"The cause is what fuses were invented and are used for:to detect and protect against SHORT CIRCUIT conditions, and /or CIRCUIT OVERLOAD conditions.
Is a megohm a short circuit?
No. A short circuit would be zero ohms.
What is a amperage relay?
An amperage relay is an electrical device used to activate or deactivate a circuit based on the current flowing through it. It is designed to protect the circuit from overload or short-circuit conditions by opening or closing the circuit when the preset amperage level is exceeded.
What does a ground fault circuit interrupter look like inside picture wise?
A mechanical switching device, capable of making, carrying and breaking currents under normal circuit conditions. Also capable of making and carrying for a specified time and breaking currents under specified abnormal circuit conditions, such as those of a short circuit.
Every short circuit is always a closed circuit while every closed circuit is not a short circuit?
Long winded but true.
What is a circuit with no load?
An open circuit or a short-circuit (if that circuit is complete).
Will short circuit wasting energy?
Short circuit blowing fuse or breaker.
Short circuit example?
An example of a kind of short circuit is an arc welding.
When was Short Circuit - album - created?
Short Circuit - album - was created in 2001.
When was Short Circuit III created?
Short Circuit III was created in 2004.
Why might the current in a short circuit be higher than the current in the original circuit?
The current in a short circuit may be very high because the resistance in the short circuit is probably less than the resistance in the original circuit.
