1. I don't know where you'll find a ref for it. It's hardly news that
the hotter for more of the time a cable runs the less its life is. Even
in the 1920s folk skilled in the art were entirely familiar with that.

Cable in the 1920s didn't have PVC insulation.

Lol, well done. I guess that's a start.

Glad you've learned something. Another might be that it's not unusual to
use 1.5mm MICC for a ring - because the insulation can stand a great deal
more heat.

if you have something informative to add rather than silliness please do.
