Overcurrent is a low intensity fault current condition caused by accidental short-circuits and ground-faults.

Overcurrent

A condition where the current exceeds the rated current of equipment or the capacity of conductors, potentially causing damage or hazard.

Low Intensity

Describes a relatively weak level of power, brightness, or energy output, often used in the context of lights or signals.

Fault Current

The excessive electrical current that flows through a circuit during a fault condition.
