Accidentally measuring voltage with probe attached in current channels

[Electrokids]

Hi How you doing?
So i was accidentally measuring voltage with probes attached to current channel on my multimeters,
and then suddenly "BOOOM!!!!!!!!" there's a blast at the end of my probes and the socket.
Blackout are happen in my house after my mistake, thankful that the current of 220 v didnt flow to my body.

The consequence is there is a burn scars at the end of my probe
I would like to ask did i just broke my multimeter or not? because i just bought it this the new one.
Also, i have try to use it again for measuring AC and it works fine.

I'm just affraid there is an problem actually with my multimeter. Can you please help me to give an instruction
for what test/check i should do to my multimeter? and did i just broke the fuse?

Thank you....

You will have at least blown a fuse internally. I have done it myself and it blew a fuse in the meter. Replaced it but unfortunatly I lost half the functions.

Luckily it was a cheap multimeter

Well you right i just blown my fuse and burnt the circuit this is the picture

It stated in the circuit where the fuse belongs is 10A 250V, does it the fuse value?

So far the multimeter work fine, is it will create a problem if i using it without fuse?

That multimeter is not safe to use on a mains electricity supply, it does not incorporate the safety features required to keep you safe during such an accident as this.

When measuring current the meter is placed in series with the circuit and it has a very low impedance, consequently connecting the current sensing circuit of the meter between L and N is the same as connecting a dead short between them.

You should take care to understand the basics of how a multimeter works and how to use one safely.
