He said preliminary information indicated that the fire was caused by an electrical overload.

On February 8, it was reported that a relay device intended to prevent an electrical overload had caused the failure.

What David Strauss thought he felt was uncontrollable anger, some kind of terrible electrical overload in his brain.

Burnt-gold electrical overloads arced ahead of them along the side shafts.

She thought of flash fires, ball lightning and electrical overloads.

This creates over-excitement, somewhat like an electrical overload in the brain, leading to seizures.

But it ruled out melting of the wire due to an electrical overload or a collision with space junk.

However, officials said that substantial evidence pointed them to the finding that the fire was caused by an electrical overload in an extension cord.
