Overcurrent Protection: Detecting and Preventing Electrical Hazards

Overcurrent refers to the flow of excessive electrical current through a circuit or device, beyond its designed capacity or rating. This can occur due to various reasons such as short circuits, ground faults, or overloading.

Overcurrent can cause damage to equipment and pose a fire hazard, so it's important to detect and prevent it in electrical systems. Overcurrent protection devices, such as circuit breakers and fuses, are used to quickly disconnect the power supply in case of an overcurrent condition, preventing damage and ensuring safety.
