How can it catch fire? Consider it from those three aspects

There is a high possibility of a short circuit; also, is it possible that the high temperature caused something to catch fire?

There are highly flammable materials inside or near the electric heating device

Check whether the design is reasonable, verify whether the materials for the electric heating tape were purchased correctly, and see if the installation was carried out in accordance with the requirements; generally speaking, the electric heating tape should not catch fire.

There is a high possibility of a short circuit; the instantaneous current is too high, generating a large amount of heat that can cause a fire!
