Overloading occurs when or two many appliances of high power ratings are connected to a single electric circuit and switched on simultaneously. As, a result, the circuit draws large current beyond its capacity.

Short-circuiting takes place in the domestic power supply if the live wire and the neutral wire come into direct contact, due to damage of insulation of live wire.
