Why does overload don't trip?

Overload protection devices, like circuit breakers, may not trip due to several factors, including the nature of the load, the duration of the overload, and the specific rating of the breaker. If the overload occurs for a brief moment or is within the breaker’s time-current characteristic curve, it may not trigger the trip mechanism. Additionally, some breakers are designed to handle short bursts of high current without tripping to accommodate temporary surges in power usage. Regular maintenance and testing are also crucial to ensure that the overload protection functions correctly.
