Electrical system has gotten hot
I have signs of heat in my wiring - bubbling on a wire or two and the grounding bar has broken away from the black plastic insulating (??) pad with clear signs that the pad has melted in places as wel...

SUCCESS! I think...knock on wood etc.
I fashioned an insulator plate out of a blue plastic outlet box, heavy duty stuff. Used JB Weld for plastics to metal and glued the bar to the plastic. Also got a couple of screws in it so it isn't going anywhere. Replaced one of the heavy 10 gauge wires that I think was causing all the problems, cleaned off all the rest and trimmed them back some. Everything is now running fine.
Thanks for all the help!
