In all but one case I'm thinking of, the obvious problem was a loose nut on one of the connections to the main breaker. The resulting high-resistance connection turned a lot of power into heat right at the breaker.
The underlying cause of the other case wasn't clear. The red wire from the breaker to the Power Distribution Board was too hot to touch for more than a few seconds, and the wire from the battery to the breaker was very warm. Because the black wire was still cool and there was no obvious indication of a short from the battery negative terminal to anything, I don't think it was a simple high current issue. |
