  "definition": "An abbreviation for overload, a condition where a machine, structure, or electrical circuit is subjected to a load greater than its rated capacity. In mechanical systems, this can lead to excessive stress, deformation, or catastrophic failure. Electrical overload causes overheating due to excessive current flow, which is managed by protective devices like fuses or circuit breakers that interrupt the circuit when the current exceeds a predetermined limit.",
