The incident BSEE received a report of a fire involving a seawater source pump motor that was under maintenance. After electricians replaced stress cones and crimped lugs during a motor termination repair, the motor was placed back in service to test the work. The motor tripped offline, and multiple overload alarms were recorded. While troubleshooting, electricians found burned wiring and signs of arcing inside the motor termination box (see Figure 1). The damaged wiring was found below the stress cones, between the line and load conductors (see Figure 2).
