i never had a problem with external fuse blown,
but i encountered a problem last month regarding my RCCB (the one in picture B).

power trip due to wallsocket faulty, but all MCB, RCCB, ELCB not tripped.
was puzzled at first, but when i tried turning ON/OFF the MCB & RCCB, the power is back on again.

it happened again afterwards, during a thunderstorm (and lightning),
no power due to lightning strike, but all MCB (picture A), RCCB & ELCB not tripped.

did some checking, and i assumed that my RCCB is faulty: there was no power in the house,
but the RCCB switch is in its 'ON" position (internal mechanism i guess).

changed my RCCB and it solved my problem, so far.

do you check your RCCB regularly (press the 'TEST' button to see if it can trip)?

faulty earth cable maybe ?
or maybe the fusebox got cable short circuit ?

outside fuse cant blow unless the current masuk ur house...
but since u off all the fuse, still can blow , maybe its time to check back all then wiring between main fuse to your fuse box...

inb4, i main hentam pull out and plug in main fuse near meter when fixing my new house, never experience it getting blown...
