Thanks John I'm not at home now, will check the consumer unit when I get home. Whatever is in there definitely didn't trip, because everything is working now and I didn't even check the consumer unit... :oops: The switches are on a ring. Ralph

Solid wire which initially looked in quite good condition (the house is very old, not sure when it was last re-wired) Not sure if I have a MCB or RCD, but they didn't trip.....

Pretty sure it wasn't that, the wire that blew was nowhere near the screws... :(

Can anyone tell me what happened here? I replaced a wall socket in my home last night. I removed the old one, wired in the new one correctly, turned the power back on and everything worked as it should. I then turned the power back off and fitted another new socket across the room...
