Question

When the is turned on, the wireing turns very hot. Why is this happening?

Answer 1

I don't know what your turning on...but... is on a extension cord?

I would unplug  what ever it is. Change the cord to a heavier

gadge wire. or use a bigger breaker

Answer 2

Not sure what device you're talking about because your question is incomplete, but power cables should never get hot. It means that you are drawing too much current through them. It is more than the current rating of the cable.

Answer 3

shorts!!!

shorts and other faulty parts can cause short circuits that cause large ammounts of current to flow and will cause heat in the 'wire'?!?!

not a good thing.

Answer 4

it's malfunctioning...you should take a look at it...It may get burn...

Answer 5

You could stop turning on "the".

Can't help, not enough info.

First, you need to learn to write a complete sentence, but if you mean the wiring in your car is getting hot when running then your car has a short someplace.

The is drawing too much current, so leave the turned off until you can get it checked out and fixed.

If "the" is the car, tow it in.
