Worked SolutionAnswer
Overloading causes the pressure/force in fluid-power systems to rise beyond the safe limit, so relief or overload valves operate to protect components. In electrical systems, excessive load causes excessive current, leading to heating, voltage drop and possible tripping of protective devices or damage to components.
