You know there is a differnce. The dynamic short circuit is dynamic and the static short circuit is static. It's common sense really.dyanamic means when due to some external source theresistance becomes zero ,can be through anythin due to high supply of current or anything,the current in that circiut becomes infinite and that result s in short circuiting. Static short circuit means when through the different changes in the voltage makes the resistance zero and current infinite ,

V = I/R

WHERE R= 0

AND CURRENT BECOMES INFINIT AND THAT RESULT IN A

SHORT CIRCUIT

A short circuit is defined as a closed circuit where the current does not encounter any significant resistance.

A closed circuit is any circuit where current can flow. It doesn't have to be short at all, so long as it carries resistance.

Unintended high current closed connection between two points in a circuit?

A short, or short circuit.


Is a spark a closed circuit?

spark is a short circuit


The difference between short to a voltage circuit and short to a ground circuit?

A short circuit is an abnormal connection between two nodes intended to be at different voltages. A voltage circuit is caused intentionally for the purpose of voltage sensing. A ground circuit occurs between a phase and the ground.


What is the difference between 1sec and 3sec duration of short-circuit withstand capacity?

The difference between 1 second and 3 seconds is 2 seconds. In terms of short-circuit withstand capacity, it can mean the difference between no damage and damage occurring to the equipment and wiring. Heat rises extremely fast in a short-circuit situation, and you want your protective device to trip before damage is done.


Difference between open and short circuit?

An open circuit has a break in it somewhere, so the circuit is not complete and electricity cannot flow. When you power off a light, for example, with an on/off switch, you open the circuit, turning off the light as desired. When there is an unwanted open circuit, for example from a damaged wire, the device or system is unpowered and cannot operate. A short circuit has some unwanted contact between points at different voltage levels, such as from hot to neutral or ground, or between positive and negative. When a short is in a circuit, electricity will take only that path of little or no resistance. The rest of the system is deprived of power, and the conductors feeding the point of the short will likely overheat or burn unless a fuse or breaker operates, creating now an open circuit.
