Hi
I'm new on here but hope that someone can give me a few pointers in the right direction on this one.
We replaced the antiquated faceplate of a 13amp socket in the hall on Thursday with a new dual-earth 13amp. Everything was fine, until I plugged a circular saw into it. Worked ok for about an hour then it tripped (or so we thought). Checked the fuse box, all the trips were as they should be but the socket was completely dead. Thought we must have damaged the socket so we have just replaced the face again and it's still not working
Is there anyone out there who has any idea what's happened? All the other sockets are working fine in the house. It's just this one. Is the wiring likely to be damaged? If so, is it safe?
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance
