👉 Overvoltage is a situation where an electrical system or device experiences too much voltage, causing damage to components and equipment. This can happen due to various factors such as faulty wiring, improper insulation, or insufficient grounding. Overvoltage can cause shorts, which are short circuits caused by the flow of excessive current through the circuit. The risk of overvoltage is significant, especially in electrical networks where it may lead to a fire or other accidents.
