Over Current Event
A Serious Threat to Electrical Systems and Equipment
Understanding Over Current Events
An over current event occurs when an electrical circuit experiences excessive current flow beyond its rated capacity. This condition can result from short circuits, ground faults, motor startup surges, or overloaded circuits. If left unchecked, over current events can lead to overheating, equipment damage, and even electrical fires.
At Volta Insite, our InsiteAI technology provides real-time monitoring to detect over current events before they cause critical failures, ensuring the safety and reliability of your electrical infrastructure.
Why Over Current Events Are a Critical Concern
Excess current flow can have severe consequences, including:
Equipment Overheating & Damage
High current levels generate excessive heat, which can degrade insulation, damage wiring, and reduce the lifespan of electrical components.
Tripped Breakers & Unexpected Shutdowns
Over current conditions can trigger protective devices like circuit breakers and fuses, leading to sudden system shutdowns and operational disruptions.
Fire & Safety Hazards
Prolonged over current events can cause electrical fires, endangering both personnel and facilities.
Increased Maintenance & Repair Costs
Unaddressed over current conditions result in frequent repairs, costly equipment replacements, and increased operational downtime.
