The difference between short circuit and overload are tabulated below.
Short circuit | Overload |
Short circuit occurs when there is a fault between the line to earth. | Overload occurs when equipment draws excess current from the supply. |
A short circuit usually takes place when neutral and live wire touch each other. | Overload occurs when the number of devices joint in a single socket are more.
|
During short circuit, the current is high. | During overload the current is comparatively low. |
