AHI in AR Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I don't think so. No signs of arcing on the wire itself, or overheated components. I see corrosion only. High moisture/corrosive environment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbinspect Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I don't think so. No signs of arcing on the wire itself, or overheated components. I see corrosion only. High moisture/corrosive environment? That's my thought too - condensation and evaporation? (Wouldn't a loose connection make for resistance and overheating - scorching, etc?)

Jim Katen Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Could this be the result of a loose connection? No way. It looks like corrosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Corrosion aided by elevated temperatures. Based on the discoloration. Heat a plate of steel with an oxy-acytl torch and the opposite side of the plate will corrode before your eyes. Lower temperatures can do the same with enough time.
