Hmm, lets see; 1. closed 2. energized 3. a load(something drawing power, ie. light bulb)

Are no load and short circuit similar?

No. No load and short circuit is not similar. No load can be 1) Either open circuit i.e. Only Potential is available and load is not connected 2) Load (i.e. motor etc ) is connected but not working with full load or full capacity. In this case the current will flow through the circuit depending on the load. It means No load condition is a condition where no current or a small ( relative / comparative term) current is flowing through the circuit. In Short circuit the load side resistance/ impedance become so less that very high amount of current is passing through circuit.( The protection is therefor required for any circuit) No load and and short circuit is not similar. Thanks


What is short circuit ratio of an alternator?

Short circuit ratio is the ratio of field current required for the rated voltage at open circuit to the field current required for the rated armature current at short circuit


What is output short circuit current?

The output short circuit current is the solar cell's current when the voltage is zero, or when it, is short circuited.


What is the part of a circuit that connects or disconnects the circuit?

Switches, fuses and circuit breakers are examples of some of the electrical parts which can connect or disconnect a circuit to a source of current. A diode does it for alternating current, but only for one half of each cycle. "Connecting" allows an electric current to flow through the circuit. "Disconnecting" stops an electric current from flowing through the circuit.


What is the name of the device that protects a circuit from current overload?

It is called fuse or circuit breaker.In electronics and electrical engineering, a fuse is a type of low resistance resistor that acts as a sacrificial device to provide over-current protection, of either the load or source circuit. Its essential component is a metal wire or strip that melts when too much current flows through it, interrupting the circuit that it connects. Fuses are an alternative to circuit breakers.A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to detect a fault condition and interrupt current flow.Unlike a fuse, which operates once and then must be replaced, a circuit breaker can be reset (either manually or automatically) to resume normal operation.

Why does your ecs fuse keep blowing?

There is either a short to ground or an over current condition in the circuit.There is either a short to ground or an over current condition in the circuit.


What is the units for the short circuit current?

The unit for short circuit current is typically measured in amperes (A) or kiloamperes (kA). It represents the maximum current that can flow in a circuit under a short circuit condition.

What is inductor functioning?

Actually Inductor oppose the change of current in the circuit..... Acts like a short circuit in steady state condition....


Why would electricity go off if too many appliances are running?

Circuit breakers are in place to prevent an over-current condition. When too much current is passed through a wire, it overheats and can result in fire. The circuit breaker is just doing its job when it turns off a circuit in that kind of condition. Too many appliances running simply means too much current on a circuit.


What is the difference between over current and overload condition?

The term, 'overcurrent', describes either an 'overload current' or a 'short-circuit current'.An 'overload current' is a current that is higher than a circuit's 'rated current'. For example, if you have too many loads plugged into the same circuit, then the resulting current is an 'overload current'.A 'short-circuit current' is a large current resulting when a line ('hot') conductor accidentally makes contact with either a neutral conductor or an earth (ground) conductor.


What best describes a necessary condition of a series circuit?

In a series circuit, a necessary condition is that all components are connected in a single loop, such that the same current passes through each component in sequence. If one component fails or is disconnected, the entire circuit will be interrupted.

What condition are necessary for a current to be present in a circuit?

The only two things needed for current flow are electromotive force or voltage and a conductor. The amount of current flow will depend on the "Resistance" in the circuit.
