Even just a few amps in the wrong place can make some serious sparks. Of course I still have no idea what actually happened so it's entirely possible there were 50 amps or more. I'm just guessing there were sparks or something. | |

The outlet is not GFCI, but is the 4 prong "with ground" style, so I expected the break to happen on the breaker box. | |
| Sep 14, 2021 at 16:14 | comment | added | Criticizing Israel not allowed | @AdamO well, what wire, how was it compromised, and how did you measure 50 amps? We should know what the circuit breaker was supposed to break, in order to guess why it didn't break it. | |
| Sep 14, 2021 at 16:06 | comment | added | AdamO | @user253751 what's unclear about "the wiring was compromised, and (one of) the hot wires made contact with the inside of the oven, sending 50 amps through the whole inside of the oven." | |
