Hi all, as usual whenever a lightbulb blows in our house it trips the breaker which is pretty normal,it did it just now, on resetting the mcb it makes a fairly loud popping sound, it resets just fine but it just startles me a bit, it has done this most of the time on resets, it does not buzz or crackle or anything serious like that it just makes a brief pop.
Is this fairly normal? Could the noise simply be because i reset the mcb under load (there were a fair amount of lights switched on), or could it be that something is failing inside the mcb?
The mcb is a hager type b6, its one of the older types with the black levers.
Thanks
