cortocircuito


Explanation:
A short circuit (sometimes abbreviated to short or s/c) is an electrical circuit that allows a current to travel along an unintended path with no or a very low electrical impedance. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_circuit
Se denomina cortocircuito al fallo en un aparato o línea eléctrica por el cual la corriente eléctrica pasa directamente del conductor activo o fase al neutro o a tierra en sistemas monofásicos de corriente alterna, entre dos fases o igual al caso anterior para sistemas polifásicos, o entre polos opuestos en el caso de corriente continua.- https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortocircuito

agree  Jennifer Levey: This is correct - and the only answer (so far) that specifically mentiones the fact that the "short" must go to ground/earth. When working on high-power RF systems many years ago, we used an "earthing wand" for this purpose.
