Open Circuit, Short Circuit and Overload fault

A fault is an unattractive or unsatisfactory feature, especially in a piece of work or in a person's character. An electrical fault, however, can be as a result of  -                                                           Open Circuit Fault                                                          Overload Fault                                                           Short Circuit Fault OPEN CIRCUIT FAULT -  An open circuit fault is a type of fault that occurs as a result of an opening in a circuit. It is a type of circuit in which there is no current flow which can occur as a result of wire breakage.  In the open circuit condition, we say that maximum resistance is present between two contacts. We can also have cases of the partial opening in the circuit, which might lead to contacts of a conducting surface not contacting/touching properly known as Partial contact .  The result is that there will be some voltage drop as a result of this partial contact which wil
