FYI Handyman household wire connections

[Kevin D Pem]

I have never had a wire nut do this when installed correctly. I started using the wago until I saw these failures. Since I live in earthquake country I not not sure I trust these.

Looks like the "buss"was overloaded, not a short. When a wire nut is used the buss at the wire intersection is the sum of the parts! When twisted together the wires become one. The spring keeps the wire junction loaded. But some want pretty.
For) larger Guage I use split nuts!!!
