Typical Electrical Faults

Electrical faults can occur in any electrical system and can cause a range of problems, from minor inconveniences to major safety hazards. Some common electrical faults include:

Circuit overload: This occurs when too many devices are connected to a single circuit, causing it to overload and trip the circuit breaker.

Short circuit: This occurs when a live wire comes into contact with a neutral wire, causing a large amount of current to flow and trip the circuit breaker.

Ground fault: This occurs when a live wire comes into contact with a grounded surface, causing a large amount of current to flow and trip the circuit breaker.

Loose connections: Loose connections can cause intermittent power loss or flickering lights. In some cases, loose connections can also cause electrical fires.

Faulty wiring: Faulty wiring can cause a range of problems, including power loss, flickering lights, and even electrical fires.
