Sockets keep tripping

But I still believe that had one been plugged into the socket which gave me the shock, that would have probably been a barrier to prevent the electric shock.

Every professional opinion posted runs contrary to your belief.

They are more likely to form a capillary pathway for moisture than to provide a barrier, and as I said in an earlier post, it's more than likely that you received the shock from the switch.

Yes I can understand how they can also be dangerous. But when I received the shock from the socket, no plastic plug protectors had either been purchased or used. The socket had nothing at all plugged into it.

We know that. We're just going round in circles here.

When you plug in the covers they open the shutters which are there to prevent them being opened, I am also out.

Ok thank you for confirming that. I wasn't sure as some of the prongs on them are very short and just assumed they are safe to use. I only purchased them after the electric shock. I assume no safety shutters could have been opened on the socket that gave me the shock, as nothing at all was plugged in...

I will get the socket replaced asap.

Did you get this issue sorted?

Has the landlord had the socket replaced?
