Nick in the wire at the base when they stripped it initially

I believe wire was damaged when romex was originally stripped.

To heat 15 amp,wire that hot takes 25+ amps seems like a major breaker mamufacturing defect

Looks like somebody took a razor blade straight across the wire.

"give it the old sniff test". a real man would have rubbed it with two fingers then smelled it.

the ground was snipped and it nicked the hot lead

nobody9890 :
question- IF the breaker DID cause the surge, would a whole house surge protector have stopped that?
I thought those only helped with like lightning.

Would it be better to run new romex for that run? Just to eliminate any potential problems later?

I’ve seen that once lightening hit the garage and melted all the wires on that circuit

Maybes perfect storm: cut with a razor knife, arcing not arrested due to breaker failure and over heated due to a bad splice. 🔥

Michael Brown :
Doesn’t surge protector need to be installed near the top of panel to be effective? Or am I wrong?

Yeah I’m Trippin :
The surge found the weakest part of the circuit. It was probably nicked on the installation

Wow, that’s surprising damage 😳 I would have expected that the circuit breaker would have prevented such damage to conductors in the walls.

I saw the same scenario when a doorbell wire took a surge. It melted the insulation all the way to the button.

If you had a courtesy loop you could pull some extra wire down and not have to run a new wire 😳

Definitely surge. Surge goes through path of least resistance. Surge also doesn’t push amperage there for breakers don’t trip. Surge protector for panel will prevent from happening in future.

My gut feeling is there is a screw or a staple went thru the cable assembly… I don’t know if the breaker can do that!

Well heck. Looks like the ground was burnt into right where it excited the outter jacket. Maybe that short melted the wire?
