The current-carrying capacity of an overcurrent protective device. The fuse or circuit breaker 
is subjected to a current above its ampere rating; it will open the circuit after a predetermined 
period of time. 
️: Ampere rating 
Choose the correct statement. 
A short circuit results from placing too many loads on a circuit. 
An overload current can be caused by worn motor bearings. 
Sustained overloads will not damage equipment or conductors as long as they do not exceed 
125% of normal cur...
