Required or obliged to megger

Conjecture. We don’t know.

Megging prior to melt down will not help. If the is no fault to detect, then there is no fault.

That all depends on what caused the melt down.

A megger can detect faults that a simple multi meter cannot.

Conjecture for sure on everyone's part since we don't know exactly what the failure was.

and fingers are being pointed as to who is responsible for a poorly installed MC splice that failed.

In what way did the MC splice fail and what was the result of the failure?

Open circuit type of failure isn't likely to be detectable with megger, or if it is could be detected with any ohms setting where ground fault failure is something you may detect a problem early with a megger.
