The word 'short-circuiting' is correct and commonly used in written English. It refers to a situation where an electrical circuit becomes damaged or disrupted, causing a loss of power or malfunction. It can also be used metaphorically to describe a situation where something is disrupted or brought to a sudden halt. Example: The sudden power outage was caused by a short-circuiting in the building's main electrical system. Example: The company's plans for expansion were short-circuited when their main investor pulled out unexpectedly.
