30 Year Old Volex Double Switched Socket Explosion.

Zoomup
Has anyone come across a 30 year old, or younger, Volex double 13 Amp switched socket that has shorted internally and tripped off the ring M.C.B? Black explosion evidence internally and above the socket on the wall tiles and newly melted copper inside were evident. The customer just cleaned the black wall mess and turned the M.C.B back on. It stayed on. The socket has now been replaced.

    "He asked if the black exploded socket was repairable"

    ?

    Reminds me of my father in law a few years back.

    " My electric blanket set on fire whilst I was in bed! can you repair it?".


    "No, throw it away and buy a new one!"
