Back to the short circuit: the distinction between short-circuit of a generator and short circuit of a lamp.

Do not place metal objects on the battery to avoid creating a short circuit between the terminals.

Do not put metal objects on the battery to avoid creating a short circuit between the terminals.

breaking currents under specified abnormal circuit conditions, such as those of short circuit.

The superposition method gives the short-circuit current related to the one load flow presupposed.

In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock providing an escape wire for the electric current. [. . . ]

Never insert any metallic object into the drive to avoid any risk of electrical shock, fire, short-circuiting or dangerous emissions.
