RE: electric motor cable burn out
-insulation temperature was more elevated than permissible for a long period .The cable was wrong elected-less conductor cross section than it is required.
-contact failure -between conductor and lug, between lug and terminal [motor or breaker/switch].
Or:
-insulation failure due to a super voltage [produced by a switch disconnecting-mainly if it is a vacuum breaker].

Vibration.
Voltage stress concentration as lead passes by a corner
Rodents?
Bad connection. Possibly there was a splice in the lead cable from motor shop or cable manufactuerer
gremlins: thread237-241996: Motor insulation and conductor failure - which came first
What voltage? Describe location of failure. Preferably post some pictures.
