Hi - working on a new kitchen today and while stripping out some cable I noticed a damaged section, pic below. I had a good look about and no external heat sources nearby, so I can’t blame the central heating pipes. The conductors’ insulation doesn’t seem to be heat damaged, maybe it’s tougher than the sheathing? Anyone seen this before?
Anyway, the original 32A RFC fed a toaster, kettle, microwave, 2 fridges, the boiler, dishwasher, washer, dryer and a plug in 3kW wall heater - which may’ve been a step too far. I’ll be splitting those loads up so hopefully no more cable cooking.
