Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004007

A condition in an electrical circuit where there is a break in the conductive path, preventing the flow of current. This interruption can be intentional, such as an open switch, or unintentional, like a broken wire or a blown fuse. An open circuit results in infinite resistance and zero current flow through the affected path.
