This is the fuse box of a chap on Facebook who had a nasty experience after

I dont know enough to speculate on the cause but it there anything
glaringly wrong here.

Possible loose connections or a stray strand of conductor (or water

the root cause of the rather hot fusebox components.

Was it correctly rated for a continuous 7kW load?
