A somewhat imprecise term used to describe the condition of very low resistance

across the terminals of a power source, resulting in very high current.

Why might the current in a short circuit be higher than the current in the original circuit?

The current in a short circuit may be very high because the resistance in the short circuit is probably less than the resistance in the original circuit.


Why does short circuit break whole circuit?

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, Charlie the Grey


Incase of short circuit will the generator start or not?

Yes the generator engine will start and keep running. The generator has to start before the short circuit is sensed. What happens to the generator section on a short circuit condition is that the generator breaker will trip and disconnect the short circuit on the load. <<>> genarator will not start because of short circuit


Why is a short circuit considered a safety hazard?

A spark from a short circuit can cause a fire .
