What else can I help you with?
Is it true or false that a circuit breaker must be replaced after a short circuit occurs?
A circuit breaker must be reset to ON after a short circuit but does not need to be replaced. It depends on the type of CB. A fuse is also a circuit breaker and it needs to be replaced after a short circuit. Relayed circuit breakers have to be "picked up" after a dropout and need not be replaced as such.
What is a circuit with no load?
An open circuit or a short-circuit (if that circuit is complete).
Can different rating circuit breakers have the same short circuit characteristics?
Yes, different amperage rating circuit breakers can have the same short circuit characteristics.
Can switchboard explosion cause short circuit?
A short circuit is what usually causes a switchboard explosion.
Will overcharging cellphone cause electrical short circuit?
No, overcharging cellphone will not cause an electrical short circuit.

What has replaced fuses in the main fuse box in a house?
Circuit breakers have replaced fuses in many modern homes. Circuit breakers offer better protection against overloads and short circuits, and they can be reset rather than needing to be replaced like fuses.
Why sparking in electrical switches?
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.
When were disposable fuses used in homes?
From the beginning of electricaly wired homes (aprx. 1880) until about the late 50's or early 60's. They were replaced with circuit breakers because circuit breakers will trip a lot faster when a short occurs and can be re-used as apposed to having to be thrown out and replaced after a short.
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 is a disadvantage of used fuses?
One disadvantage of using fuses is when you have a short circuit condition and the circuit opens, the fuse has to be physically removed and replaced with a new one. This is unlike a breaker that just has to be reset to the on position.
Is a megohm a short circuit?
No. A short circuit would be zero ohms.
If AC is replaced by DC in a fluorescent lamp circuit will the circuit work?
No.
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.
