Best Answer

Circuits are limited for a few reasons firstly because certain size wiring can only handle so much voltage and amperage before it could fail secondly wiring heats up when more amperage is drawn through it which can create fires or burning out of the circuit most appliances draw set amount of current and amperage if you have a low amperage appliance Eg pool pump drawing 4 amps and the windings start to fail the motor can start drawing excessive amperage creating a hazard, if you had a large circuit it may never trip the breaker indicating a fault with the appliance which can cause catastrophic failure.

What does cpc stand for in domestic electrical wiring?

In electrical, c.p.c. stands for circuit protective conductor. It's the third wire used when connecting twin cables and intended to protect people from being electrocuted using the fact that current takes the path of the least resistance, then the least resistance is the c.pc. which is connected to ground, the current goes to ground passing trough the c.pc. wire instead of passing trough the body of the person in contact with the electricity
