In most appliances the single thing that prevents an overload is the fuse. In modern electronics there are various devices that can be used for power management which can limit the current drawn by reducing the load voltage. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_limiting

AnswerCircuits are protected using an overcurrent-protection device, such as a fuse or circuit breaker. 'Overcurrents' are either overload currents or short-circuit currents.

What is the switch on a overload?
to protect the source from overloading a switch can be opened as a circuit breaker, fuse, overload protection schemes
What is designed to open an overloaded circuit and prevent overheating?
A circuit breaker or a fuse.
What is the purpose of the diode in the GM AC clutch circuit?
The purpose of the diode is to prevent electricity to flow in the wrong direction in a circuit. The purpose of the diode is to prevent electricity to flow in the wrong direction in a circuit.
In science to prevent overloading in a parallel circuit you could install a what?
you can use a fuse or circuit breaker
The role of the circuit breaker is what?
to prevent a circuit from overloading if too much current flow safely interrupt the circuit if it becomes overloaded
How do you prevent overloading?
by even distribution of loads in the system
Why won't the receptacle reset?
Check your circuit breaker. The receptacle may be malfunctioning or you may be overloading the circuit when trying to do the reset.
How to prevent overloading of an electric circuit?
Generally circuit overload is prevented by a voltage regulator with a diode wired in parallel with the cathode end at the power source end of the voltage regulator. Some circuits use a fuse to prevent too many amperes from entering the circuit. If the circuit one is trying to protect is from a computer that turns off and on switches to another circuit that uses more power, a relay is used such that the lower power circuit of the computer runs through the coil terminals and the higher powered circuit runs through the switch terminals.
Which electric safety device easily melts whe there is overheating or overloading in the circuit?
fuse?
Protects buildings from overloading circuits and fires?
Circut Breaker
Explain overloading in an electric circuit?
Excessive current can be in the connection of many devices into a single socket.this may cause overload in the circuit
What is the use for an electrical fuse?
To prevent overloading in case of an electrical fault in the equipment.
What does it mean if mainbreaker trips twice in one week?
overloading the circuit or could be getting weak
What can cause fuses to blow?
Overloading the circuit, short in the wiring, or incorrect fuse installed which is too small for the circuit. Always use the correct size fuse.
What is the analogy of short circuit?
Im searching for the analogies of the following words 1.Overloading 2.Short circuit 3.Circuit Protectors 4.Electromagnetic Induction 5.Len'z law
