Crimps on Aluminium twin and earth cable.

I don't like crimps on twin and earth,  but this definitely wasn't a good idea!

  • Is the top hole of the red 30 Amp insulating shield heat damaged. Did the fuse carrier overheat and transfer heat upwards to the crimped joint, thus assisting its demise? I assume that the heat damage is caused mainly by the bad crimp, a heavy load,  and I2R heating.

     

    O.K. The old red L. was heat damaged. Probably due to  bad stripping of the cable. The L. was renewed with a short section of brown 2.5mm2. It appears that  L. may have overheated and migrated into a C.P.C.
