A short circuit is when there is a low resistance connection between two conductors that are supplying electrical power to a circuit. This would generate an excess of voltage streaming and cause excessive flow of current in the power source. The electricity will flow through a ‘short’ route and cause a short circuit.

If you are planning to sell your home or contemplating a home improvement then make sure you check your property for electrical issues first. People will surely come in with their checklist that includes an upgraded kitchen, triple pane windows, a spacious bedroom and a fully-furnished modular kitchen. But, when they want to seal […]
Circuit breakers can be classified into different types depending on their external design, internal mechanism, voltage, and location of installation. They control your power supply system and protect you and your property against electrical hazards. Without a circuit breaker, you are at the risk of electrical fires, shocks, and short circuits.
But the same circuit […]
We rely on power supply to run our homes and offices. However, it is very important to ensure safety around electrical materials, appliances, and power lines. May is the National Electrical Safety Month and so, it’s also a perfect time to spread awareness about electrical safety. Know how to avoid a potential electrical hazard […]
What is Electric Grounding?
Electrical grounding is a backup pathway that provides an alternating route for the current to flow back to the ground if there is a fault in the wiring system. It facilitates a physical connection between the ground and the electrical equipment and appliances in your home.
The electricity in a residential […]
Automotive electrical connectors are specifically designed for use in automobile electrical systems. Automobile systems have undergone massive transformation and today modern systems are extensively wired and controlled by a microprocessor. This has increased the demand for high-quality and reliable wiring and electrical connectors. So, if you are selecting automotive electrical connectors for your vehicle, […]
With an endless variety of electrical connector types and several crucial criteria to consider, choosing the right one can be downright difficult. However, choosing the right connector is the most efficient and reliable way to modularize, improve or downsize a system so that it runs smoothly without needing frequent repairs.
Zero in on the best […]
An electrical conduit is a durable tubing used for electrical protection and routing of individual electrical wiring conductors. A conduit is usually required where the wiring can be exposed or get damaged.
Conduit Installation
A conduit generally contains two or more individual insulated wires.
In a standard installation, an entire raceway is installed before the individual wires […]
