While connecting the flood light plug on to the 415 V
distribution panel,there was spark and the cable got burnt.
Three ignitors of the flood light also burnt of. The lamps
are of 400 W (total 6 lamps) connected through 1.5 mm2
cable. The plug was immediately removed from the circuit.
There was a 30 mA RCD connected and a 250 A MCCB; however
both did not trip. What could be the possible reasons for
the circuit devices not to trip?Can someone assist please.
Additional info if needed can be provided.

check flood light another distribution box whether your flood light is working properly or faulty and also check your db phase voltage.
