After connecting the above-mentioned switch, I went to the switchboard to turn on the plugs that popped out during a short circuit. Unfortunately, there was no reaction. There is no electricity in the contacts and there is no light. I looked at the cage and all the plugs are on. "Eska" is only on the ground floor, our first floor has old ceramic (white) plugs. They are also intact. Is there any way to check for yourself why there is no electricity, or is it better to call an electrician?
My suggestion is that:
1. Check the circuit breaker if the lever is turned on, there is voltage at the output terminal. It often happens that low-quality "eS" are damaged in the event of short-circuits. I have had this case several times before. It helped then after switching on the lever back literally by 1mm. Of course "S" to be replaced.
2. These old ceramic "plugs" can wear out so much that the indicator (such a colored circle) does not fall out because the burnt sand sticks to the wire and the spring cannot push it away. In addition, old plugs are best checked with a lamp in the form of a bulb holder, because when checking with a neon indicator, it often happens that the indicator lights up even though the fuse is blown.
3. If the fuses turn out to be in order, there is probably no continuity in the circuit. I suggest then to have the repair performed by a qualified person.
