My point is that unless you have some very specific and compelling evidence to rule out everything else (or confirm it was a mfg defect) I don't think that you should be so quick to throw CTE under the bus for this!
For example, if a few strands of one wire contacted the terminal of another wire it would take much less than 40A to heat up those strands enough to light some plastic on fire.

You're right, I shouldn't have been so quick to say it was an mfg defect.
