So I take it the we are to assume an internal short circuit is the "fault"?

Then why didn't it show up during unit assembly or testing??

[However it could also be chaffing/fretting of wire to expose conductors in a longer timescale, but I find it hard to believe an ELT Tech working at a bench in the factory wouldn't spot this during assembly]
