What can happen if electrical power wiring is not sized properly?

What will be an ideal response?


If the wiring is not large enough to carry the current it may overheat and cause a fire. It may also become hot enough to melt the insulation allowing the wire to come in contact with part of the equipment case that could cause an electrical shock to anyone touching the charged metal.
