Fault Find #7

[Paul.M]

Hi Paul. If there was a short between Line and Earth why had the Breaker/fuses not tripped? From what I gather the socket wasnt working but the circuit was still live?

In the opening post I asked her if a fuse had blown? She said yes and that she rewired the 3036 semi enclosed fuse carrier herself.

Once the damage to the cable had been done, we now have live connected to the cpc going to the socket and the live to the socket is no longer connected.
