Is this an indicator that cables are overheating/first sign of deterioration?
Called out to a youth centre all upstairs lights out. Located fault a a flourescent fitting. Neutrals completely burnt out with no insulation left. I've isolated fitting. IR's are testing fine now. However I'm noticing discolouration inside the fittings of most of conductors. I am suspecting over time the insulation is going to become brittle and break away leaving exposed conductors.
Time for a rewire of circuit?
