Overloading Electrical
Circuits
Electricity has enriched our lives. Despite the many benefits, electricity
can also bring danger -- the most common being house fires. It is
estimated that over 40,000 residential fires are caused by electrical
systems every year in the United States. Causes include arc faults, short
circuits, or overloading of electrical circuits. This article discusses
overloading electrical circuits.
First, we must understand some basics about typical home electrical systems. The electrical service enters the house and connects to a main electrical panel. From the main electrical panel, wires run in different directions throughout the house to power lights, outlets, ceiling fans, air conditioners, and various other direct-wired electrical appliances. These wire-runs are called branch circuits.
