If the triac of an ac output module fails in the shorted state, the device connected to the output would behave the same as if it had been connected directly to the ac power supply. It would run at full power and it would not be controllable.
If the secondary is shorted, then it will appear that the primary is shorted as well. What happens depends on how well the protective device (fuse or circuit breaker) and transformer is designed. If the protective device is incorrectly designed, it is theoretically possible for the transformer to explode. If it is properly designed, and the transformer is also properly designed, there should be no damage at all - fix the fault - reset the trip - and you are back in business - although an inspection would probably be in order to check for latent damage.
An electrical device can still be on and charging if the fan is off. If the device is plugged in to the wall, or connected to a battery, chances are it is charging.
A fixture or device that holds a light in place by means of some sort of socket, that is connected to a power source.
'Shunt' is an archaic term, meaning 'in parallel with'. So a 'shunt coil' is connected 'in parallel' with... With what, of course, depends upon what sort of device you are talking about. For example the field coil of a d.c. shunt-connected motor has its field winding connected in parallel ('shunt') with the supply.
It is a modem that is integrated right into a device, either as a plug-in module or discrete devices or a hybrid module designed as part of the circuit board. This is in cotntrast to the 'normal' setup where the modem is a completely separate device connected with a cable.
Without knowing what device this (at least) four-pin connector is, I can only assume that it doesn't make use of that pin in communications with whatever you have it connected to.
A shorted motor would read zero ohms. Note, however, that a meg ohm tester is not an appropriate test device to assess if the motor is shorted, because the difference between shorted and "operational" can often be just a few ohms - you need a low resistance test device - not a meg ohm tester.
In a star topology, each device connects to a central network connectivity device such as a hub, switch, or router. These devices would be connected as a "star" (points on a star). The other characteristic of a star topology is that a failing connection will only affect the failed device unless that device is the connectivity device. This means that in most cases a failing device on a star will not take down the entire network. Another characteristic of a star is that they are easily expandable and scalable.
A node is a device connected to a network such as a computer or a game console. (Each device connected to a network is referred to as a node. A node can be a computer, printer, game console, or router.)
The device number connected on a Commodore 64 system relates to the number of controls connected. This determines how many players can interact with games simultaneously.

If the Internet is slow when the device is NOT connected, then it is probably not related to that specific device.
