The answer to 'why is my fuse box circuit overload' is that a circuit overload occurs when too many electrical devices or appliances are drawing power from a single circuit, causing the circuit breaker or fuse to trip. This is a common issue in older homes with limited electrical capacity or when homeowners add new high-power devices without upgrading the electrical system.
Common causes include running too many devices on a single circuit, using old or damaged wiring, or having an undersized electrical panel. Symptoms may include flickering lights, breakers tripping frequently, or warm or buzzing outlets. The solution is to identify the overloaded circuit, reduce the load, and potentially upgrade the electrical panel or wiring to handle the increased demand.
