I think it might need a bit more than a wipe down and a lick of paint.....
Looks like your design failed.

Looks like some sort of motor drive equip.
So much for OCPD or fuse protection.

If you can't be a good example, be a bad one.
A most constructive though not surprising response.Looks like your design failed.

What do you mean? I'm sure the transistors did a fine job of protecting the fuses

A little more background.
The kit had been in storage for about seven years.
Storage being in a mangrove swamp area with no control over ambient conditions. Anti-condensation heaters were not energised and there was no ingress protection.
Fried snake anyone?
No doubt a possibility.
How many do you want?
Incorrect connections.
Loose connections.
Foreign bodies in the kit.
Excessive moisture.
Wrong voltage.
Lightning strike.
Act of god.
A screwdriver left in the wrong place.
Equipment failure.
A rat across the bars - it happens.
Wrong toss of the dice....

Eve blamed the snake. Don't go joining her side.
Yes. Lightning strike, Act of god can not be detected by any precommissioning tests. But others could be.
I bow to your vast wealth of wisdom, knowledge, expertise, and experience in this field.
As Rumpole was fond of saying, she who must be obeyed.......
Thanks for your realization at last.:thumbsup:
But You did not help in my attempt to fix up responsibility for the incident in the OP.
