Broken strands in a flexible cord carrying an electrical current may cause substantial localized high temperature. Such a high temperature may cause serious failure such as flame ignition of cord insulation. An analytical study is conducted to predict temperature rise distribution in electrical components with no uniform current density such as wires with broken strands. Temperature distributions are evaluated for different percentages of broken strands as well as the broken length.
