Electric Breakdown refers to a failure in electrical systems or components, leading to a disruption in electrical service. Here’s a brief overview:

1. Causes: Electric breakdowns can result from various issues, including:

   • Short Circuits: When unintended connections between electrical conductors cause excessive current flow.
   • Overloads: When a circuit carries more current than it is designed for.
   • Insulation Failure: Breakdown of insulation material leading to short circuits or grounding issues.
   • Component Failures: Failure of electrical components like transformers, circuit breakers, or wiring.

2. Symptoms: Common signs include power outages, flickering lights, tripped circuit breakers, or electrical sparks and smells.

3. Response: Addressing electric breakdowns involves:

   • Diagnosis: Identifying the cause of the problem.
   • Repair: Fixing or replacing faulty components.
   • Prevention: Regular maintenance and inspections to prevent future issues.
