Melted insulation is caused by too much current - usually because of a short circuit. It is possible that the short circuit is inside one of your pumps but more likely, current is flowing where it should not. In either case, you need to find the short and eliminate it, and replace the damaged wires. If you lack electrical knowledge and experience, you need expert help.

Another possibility is that one of your pumps is stuck, which would cause excessive current flow.
