Coming across a few of these. Very small run of cable as cu is in kitchen just below bathroom but should be 10mm cable. Did the old cable used to be slightly bigger than the new stuff?

If you have the old stranded 7/044 its nearer 7mm!
What connector block? Has the circuit been extended?
Stratplus, why do you think it should be 10mm cable? In certain conditions, small run and correct reference method 6mm will be ok for a 8.5Kw shower.
Worked it out to 10mm. Cable run is ok and distance but concerned about melted cable connector block.

What are your thoughts as to the cause of this fault ?

I reckon, right, that it got too warm somehow.
...Although playing devils advocate...correctly sized cable can generate heat when terminated poorly...just sayin...
Clearly because it needs a larger cable ...... Right ?
