How Circuit Overloads Happen
When you ask the electrical circuit to give you more power than its maximum capacity, you will overload the circuit. Simply plugging in a printer and a fax machine to the same outlet can cause this type of overload. The circuit simply does not have the capacity to handle the amperage that you are asking for. This is why your home is equipped with circuit breakers. The circuit breaker will trip, stopping the flow of electricity and preventing a fire. However, when this happens repeatedly, the risk for fire is still present, and you need to take measures to prevent the problem by installing a new circuit or upgrading your existing one.Your home’s electrical system is critical for most aspects of your daily life.
