Overfluxing
An overfluxing occurs when a device receives a current or voltage that exceeds its rated capacity. This can happen when the device is overloaded, such as when too many devices are connected to a single power source, or when a component fails and the remaining components are unable to handle the increased load.
Overfluxing can damage the device and cause it to malfunction. It can also lead to a fire hazard if the device is connected to a grounded object.
To prevent overfluxing, devices should be rated for the current or voltage they are intended to handle. They should also be connected to a power source that is rated for the current or voltage they are connected to.
Examples:
A computer monitor that is connected to a power source with a 10-watt rating can overflux if it is connected to a 20-watt adapter.
A lighting fixture that is rated for a 120-volt incandescent bulb can overflux if it is connected to a 110-volt outlet
