Hi
about an hour ago all the lights in my house tripped out. I went to the fuseboard and one switch was down. Flicked it back and it tripped out immediately.
few moments later theres and acrid smell and a little smoke in the room
tracked the smell down to the boiler, took the cover off and was met with this (see photo)
have got someone coming out tonight to look at it. In the meantime have turned the power off.
Any idea what would cause this earth wire to melt?
It’s a Worcester Bosch junior 28, has been in about 8 years without any problems
