One of the circuit breakers may have tripped.
Yes, it was repeatedly tripping EC
When that happened to us, son's electrician friend suggested we remove all the plugs from the sockets and replace them one at a time. That way you should be able to find out which item is tripping the switch. It worked for us. 
Yeah, but Supes said a socket was fizzling. So it sounds like the socket at fault, not an appliance. I think you want to switch off that socket first THEN switch the trip-switch back on. 
Did that first Fluffs, (obviously after firstly switching off at the mains!) still trips when I switch back on
