    I have seen plastic bushing burn thru like that form electricians pulling long runs of wire thru them.

    If you can figger out a way to get the breakdowns on a preprogrammed rotating fill in the slow times schedule you could make all the money just selling the idea. All those weak spots giving way at the same time would cause too many grey hairs.

    Don't forget the pookie...

    Call on a small W/I freezer- An old Hussman condensing unit on the roof. The unit breaker was tripped- reset and BAMMM! Flash and trip.

    Took a while to find it, but a feed to the LL solenoid valve from the control panel was connected by a close nipple with plastic bushings on both ends.

    There was slack in the wire (#16 THHN) to the coil,but it still wore through the bushing till the hot leg hit the nipple. BOOM!

    Took about 20 years, but...

    A little pookie stuffed in the hole... might have save the problem.
