What is the meaning of overload?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

An overload is a current over and above the normal load current (over the load).  In other words greater than the original design current. This can be a momentary overload such as the starting current for a motor which is usually ignored or it can be a sustained overload such as plugging in too many appliances at once or a motor that has faulty bearings or gets jammed
