  • yeah sorry i am not electrician. My mother said that 2 small breakers was tripped. Not RCD,not ELCB.
    One small breaker for sockets and second for lightning. 
  • Then I refer back to earlier suggestion to get in an electrician. Possibly cannot diagnose what might have been but can tell you the current condition and if there is still a fault.
    You got info from mother, we get it from you, non of us are there, we cannot test for you! You say they are small breakers but it could be that these are overcurrent breakers or combined RCD/overcurrent combined breakers. Seeing would help decide but not tell if there was still a problem and underlying fault condition!
  • But it happened once no more.
  • Maybe only once but a blowing bulb should not trip two overcurrent breakers. There is a possible underlying problem.

    If it is your own property your choice as what to do and what risk to accept?
  • So maybe pc tripped?
  • Was thinking more of property wiring!
