Hi all

I was tracing some electrical cabling last night and noticed a ~6" section of 2.5 T&E cable that appears to have been subject to heat damage and the plastic has started to melt. It's about 1m away from the CU in the garage and connected to a 32amp MCB. It's a radial circuit that powers a small...

Not a great fan but have had to use it recently to fill gaps before trimming.
It seems as if the heat is stopping it setting properly.
2 different brands both sort of collapsed and ran out the gap leaving sticky residue.

Thanks

Thanks
