The problem
Inappropriate installation, tightening of the terminal nut, or inadequate electrical cable routing allows the terminal ring to move, causing the cable to rub against metallic component and wear through the insulation or cause the ring terminal to break, causing the cable to fall. Consequence of defect: chafing of the electrical cable insulation or the breakage of the ring terminal can cause an electrical short which may result in a fire.
The fix
Reinstall electrical cabling to avoid these hazards.
