Took a light fitting off the wall today and upon reconnecting and turning the light on it had tripped the the electrics and the downstairs lighting MCB (6Amp). I lifted the switch and turned the light on again and the MCB then blown. It will not reset and is now permanently in the down/off position. Every time is try to lift it, it sparks inside the MCB and the whole electrics trip again. Is the MCB dead and buried and need replacing?
Ive removed the light bulbs yet it still trips.
I will check the wiring is secure again tomorrow once its a bit lighter.
Any other advice please!!
