Two likely explanations:

1. A batch of defective spokes (but how did they all wind up on the non-drive side?)

2. Way too low tension. If the tension were too high, the rim would have buckled and/or all the broken spokes would be on the drive side which is under far more tension.

My money is on #2. Who built the wheel?
