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.

    I've seen that sort of result a couple of time - both seemed to be due to the socket being sprayed with some, erm, 'semi conductive liquid' ... by the customer's tom cat.
