    The middle one is empty. Damage somewhere between the fuse and the sockets. You would have to check each one in turn where it does not pass.

    There is no wire at the bottom of the middle one

    But the right one is hot, you can see discoloration of the fuse base contact, the same is true for the right contact of the receiving socket.
    And what is on the PEN - N connector, we do not see it.
    In addition, these new fuses are exaggerated even for copper

    It sparkled until it was burnt.

    Switch off the voltage,
    Check the presence of voltage,
    Ground or otherwise ensure that the circuit is voltage free,
    Unscrew the old socket,
    Clean overheated parts of the pipes (if possible without cutting them off),
    Check from the switchgear side that there is continuity to the terminal in the protection.
    And now depending on:
    Insert a new socket or connect the wires. Remembering not to directly connect copper with aluminum.
    Of course, phase with phase, neutral with neutral (or neutral - depending on the installation).
    Check the lack of continuity between the phase and neutral (aka neutral) conductors,
    Give voltage,
    Perform fault loop impedance test.

    Then depending on:
    Pay an electrician or call an electrician.

    So only an electrician? What should I tell him on the phone?

    Added after 3 [minutes]:

    "Check from the switchgear side that there is continuity to the terminal in the protection."

    Can it be blatantly?

    Call the circuit.
    Pathologically:
    Set the meter for resistance measurement and expect a result within 0.0 between the terminal in the socket and the terminal in the switchgear (including the protection).
    Be careful !!!! so as not to touch the active part of the unscrewed fuse (the live one).

    If you are not able to do it, or you do not know how, call an electrician for your own good and for the benefit of others.

    Thanks everyone for your help! You are cossacks in these matters. How much is the repair cost?

    There is a holiday period. The fairy went on vacation. She took the glass ball with her.
    Invite an electrician to see it and estimate what the costs will be. Nobody will read the tea leaves here.

    You recommend an electrician from Warsaw from the Bielany area

    Such a question, why shouldn't copper and aluminum be directly bonded?

    Is this a rhetorical or serious question? Seriously, it's about oxidizing aluminum.

    There was an electrician. There were burned wires in the box, He made these wires, he also replaced the burned socket and took PLN 140. Best regards. To close.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a situation where a user experienced a loss of electricity in all sockets after resetting a fuse, following an incident involving an iron plug that sparked. Participants suggested checking the Residual Current Device (RCD) and pre-meter protection, as well as inspecting the fuses and wiring for damage, particularly in installations with aluminum wiring. The user was advised to look for signs of overheating or burnt contacts and to use a voltage tester to check for continuity. Ultimately, it was recommended to call a qualified electrician to address the issue, as the problem likely involved damaged wires or sockets. The user later confirmed that an electrician repaired burnt wires and replaced a socket for a fee of PLN 140.
