Suggest a Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors tuned for TVOCs. Sensirion SGP40 / SGP41 is a good bet. Otherwise, Bosch BME680. No doubt, other cheaper analog MOS sensors could be used too.

maybe. practicly, while running, Im not sure.
is that live melting or detecting damage?
in 1 wire? all the wires?
Megger, and high-pot testers come to mind.
principally, melted wires have lower insinuative properties.
but running those tests on a live system would be illadvised.
