What is an electrical overload and how to avoid it?

An electrical overload is a flow of current in excess of the usual operating electrical load. It can also be defined as an excess charge that passes through conductors and circuits. Therefore, the power required by several devices connected at the same time in the same circuit can exceed the capacity of the system. There are two types of overloads: transient (lasting for milliseconds) and continuous (due to a bad installation). In addition, it must be taken into account that the connections may have different models and sizes of circuit breakers, cables and plugs. Next, we tell you everything you need to know about electrical surges, how to avoid them and how to solve them. How to know if there is an electrical overload Whether at home or in the workplace, a power surge can affect specific connections or the entire system, however, watch out for similar indicators in both forms? Some clear signs that there is an overload are: Lights starting to dim If you notice the lighti...
