Because a whole circuit needs a short circuit to work. It's like a remote; the remote is the whole circuit and the batteries needed are the short circuit. if those batteries are broken, the remote won't work. In other words, without a short circuit, a whole circuit can not occur successfully. Hope this helped,

the maximum short current that can be safely break by the circuit breaker.
A fuse or a circuit breaker can be added directly after the power source (and possibly a transformer) to do this.
in order to avoid unwanted short circuit break downs.... short circuit can burn the transformer and motor winding.... Megger is the device used to check the insulation .
an open circuit is a circuit that does not complete the circle. an open circuit does not do the job as the electricity stands still a short circuit is a circuit that wires have crossed and the electricity takes the shortest path. and does not complete all of the points on the circuit
Yes. Open circuit. A: It depends on the failure type a short will not necessarily make an open circuit but rather a non functional circuit.
Short circuit the connector with a 12V battery for few seconds!
Incorrect answerThen only one of the lights go out.Correct answerActually ALL the lamps will go out if a short circuit occurs across any branch of a parallel circuit because, if the wiring has been done correctly, a circuit breaker will trip or a fuse will blow to cut off the supply of current to all the lights.The loss of a single lamp indicates a break, not a short circuit.
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 ?
No. A short circuit would be zero ohms.
By definition a short circuit is the path of least resistance of current flowing through a circuit be it three phase or single phase. The main cause of this condition in electrical circuits is an insulation break down. This break down can be caused by overheating of the insulation to a point where the insulation disintegrates from the conductor that it is supposed to be protect. With the insulation missing from the wire there is the possibility of a short circuit to surrounding grounded material. The other cause of insulation break down is from vibration. Unsupported conductors can vibrate against their metallic enclosures to a point where the insulation is just worn away. Once the insulation becomes thin enough the voltage will bridge the insulation threshold and take the path of least resistance to ground and a short circuit will occur.
A switch is a make - break device. Its function is a circuit is to make and break the current flow of the circuit that it is in. This action then starts and stops the load that is connected in the circuit.
A break in an electric circuit is called an open circuit. Electric current will not flow through an open circuit.
