Overload protection is a feature in electrical systems that prevents damage or failure due to excessive current flow. It usually works by interrupting the flow of electricity when it exceeds a safe level, either by blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker. This helps prevent overheating, fire, or damage to electronic components that may result from excessive current flow. Overload protection is an important safety measure in electrical system design and is commonly found in devices such as switchboards, circuit breakers and fuses.
