I had to replace our immersion switch today, and switched off that circuit prior to doing this of course (and double checked with my test meter that it was definately then off).
Whilst pushing the three wires through the old casing, the trip for the whole house went plunging everything to OFF. I presume that the wires had touched each other, but surely that shouldn't have caused a short circuit?
Anyway, I carried on and installed the replacement switch and now all is fine - BUT why did this happen? Any thoughts, please
