However, a short-circuit path bypasses the normal current-limiting load impedance, resulting in excessively high current values that are restricted only by limitations of the power system itself, and ...

All electrical systems are susceptible to short circuits and the abnormal current levels they create. These currents can produce considerable thermal and mechanical stresses in electrical distribution ...

But what IS a short circuit? A short circuit happens when an electrical current flows outside of its intended circuit with no resistance to the flow.

Researchers in Saudi Arabia have conducted a series of tests to investigate the temperature coefficient of the short circuit current in perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells and have found that it ...
