[QUOTE="newfutile, post: 552247, member: 36842"] This sounds like as above a cable probably a live has been nicked and made the back box live , when the screw (which is earthed via the front plate) touches the now live back box the protective device will operate. this also means that the power was not off and he lucky not to get an electric shock or worse . this is all assumption of course but it’s my best guess from the information we have here.
