• An electrical short circuit occurs when there is an unintended and low-resistance connection between two points in an electrical circuit. It is a fault condition that bypasses the normal load or resistance in the circuit, resulting in an abnormal flow of current.

• In a properly functioning circuit, electricity flows through a path that includes various components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors. These components provide the necessary resistance and control the flow of current. However, in a short circuit, the current takes a path of least resistance that bypasses these components.

• Short circuits can occur due to various reasons, including damaged or frayed wires, faulty insulation, loose connections, or a breakdown of electrical components. When a short circuit happens, a large amount of current can flow through the circuit, which can lead to overheating, damage to equipment, or even electrical fires.

WHAT CAUSES ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT??

• Vermin or pests chewing through wires.
• Water or other fluids coming into contact with electrical wiring.
• Loose connections in an electrical box.
• Old or damaged outlets, switches, lights, appliances, or other electrical devices.
• Nails or screws piercing through walls and coming into contact with wires.

Avoid the above things to keep your house safe from electrical Shortcircuit
