short circuit
(redirected from Electrical faults)

    Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

short circuit

Unintended direct connection between two points in an electrical circuit. Resistance is proportional to the length of wire through which current flows. By bypassing the rest of the circuit, the short circuit has low resistance and a large current flows through it. This may cause the circuit to overheat dangerously.
