overload protection
Prevents electrical damage
Overload protection refers to safeguards that prevent damage when a system receives more than it can handle.
In electrical circuits, overload protection includes fuses and circuit breakers that cut power before wiring overheats.
The concept extends to software throttling, mechanical clutches that slip under excess torque, and thermal shutoffs: The motor has built-in overload protection.
