[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 507204, member: 250"] Unclear how you can claim it worked perfectly for 4 straight months?? (Unless you were doing full set of diagnostic tests on the cables every day to verify no cable deterioration). Your logic is a bit like me saying I have been running my car on a set of tyres with less than 1.0mm tread on any of them.. Its worked perfectly for 6months.. But now one of the tyres is regularly losing pressure! And the car doesn't handle so well in the wet! Tyres deteriorate with use.. and so do cables! Electricity always generates some heat as power passes through a circuit.. Repeated prolonged use of a particular circuit with excessive load on any part of that circuit will cause increased rate of deterioration of the circuit cables or accessories.. Just because something appeared to work.. it does not mean it is working in a safe manner, or that it was working perfectly OK.. I wouldn't assume any part of your wiring is safe or functional without getting it properly tested by someone with suitable test equipment. [/QUOTE]
