There should be a fuse or circuit breaker that is designed to prevent damage to the cables or system, so once the current limit is reached the breaker will trip of the fuse will blow. Being a MIMS element there is really nothing there to catch fire, cause its mineral insulated, metal sheath, and the tank should be copper. Its just a pain in the arse more than anything, i cant see there being a fire hazard as long as the proper circuit protection was in place ( and not a bloody big piece of wire taking place of the fuse wire ) After all the trouble youve had lately though i dont really think you need any more. You need to take a break from things before you wind up a shaking wreck. |
