What Does OC Stand For?

OC stands for Overcurrent

OC, or Overcurrent, refers to a condition in electrical systems where the current exceeds the rated capacity of a device or circuit. This can lead to equipment damage, increased energy loss, or potential safety hazards. Overcurrent protection devices, such as fuses and circuit breakers, are implemented to prevent these risks by interrupting the current flow when excessive levels are detected. Effective management of overcurrent is essential for maintaining system integrity and ensuring safety in electrical installations.
