MCBs trip when load current gets well above 6A.

Although this doesn't mean it trips at 6.1A.

A bad resistance join
does the opposite, reduces load current, so would never trip the MCB.

Not neccesarily, depends what sort of resistance and and what sort of
load is going through it.

Quite simply there is no protection in most installs against this. Just
make sure your kit is sound to start with.

Basically, **** happens! Stick a new pendant up and be done with it,
things break.
