Can anyone provide any URLs or references for fire modeling regarding pinched electrical cords, especially related to exertion pressure needed to cause insulation failure? There don't seem to be any direct references in texts I have looked through, and Googling it has come up empty.

Thanks!

I checked with our FP|E and here is his response

I am unaware of any modelling for this situation.
Best source on the subject that I have found is Ignition Handbook from Vyto Bara bkus

I will keep an ear out for any other information
