is that solid or stranded going into that?
I like and hate back stabs, they are good if you use the ones you have to physicly tighten, but bad if they are normal ones that seem to get loose over time. Steve

It was solid, and it was the kind you have to tighten. The wire is physically melted into the backing, I can't pull it out for anything. I honestly don't know why it did this. I'm thinking I must have overloaded the circuit but even still, I've reduced what I have for tanks in the last year by a LOT and the box was still physically hot to the touch lately. .. I've been wanting to "decommission" these "temporary" circuits for a while. I'm glad it's off, I had no idea it was THIS bad inside of the box..

WOW, that plug's toast. If the connection got corroded, it makes it worse. The corroded connection will heat up just like that, even if the circuit isnt overloaded.

Tony You are allowed to use 14 gauge in Calgary......If you use a 20Amp breaker you have to use 12guage wire with 20amp recepticles, can't use 15amp......I would just stay with the 15 amp breaker and 15 amp recepticles!!!
