My PSU power plug melted... I just noticed it today... probably started 2-3 days ago...

My PSU is Thermaltake 1200w, I have one Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Ti inside my build... the rest are just pretty standard items...i7, RAMs, SSD, etc.. (the PSU is overkill for my setup but that is for another thread)...
Anyway, I connected that power cable to a Belkin extension. That Belkin extension powers a few other items such as my monitor, phone charger, and a fan... I don't believe any of these items can cause the PSU cable to melt... those are pretty standard low voltage items...
The PSU power cable I (the one that melted), is rated for 13A and 250v... which is pretty standard... this should be good for 3250w... my PSU is only 1200w.. even then it is not drawing that much 1080 Ti at peak is only 250w...
So why?? Right now I have replaced the power cable with another one... so far no heat or anything like that as far as I can tell... so why?? why??
