Recently some wires in the light for our ceiling fan started arcing, it generated so much heat that it burned through the metal (Aluminum?) of the light fixture itself. You could hear very loud popping noises when it was arcing.
I took care of it by removing the light fixture (For now until we either get a new ceiling fan or a new light fixture).
My question is, why didn't the breaker trip, and is that an indication that it may be bad?
TIA
