We recently had one burnt electrical outlet at our office. The
appliance plug is also burnt as well. All the outlets at our office is
rated at 20Amps and have fuse protection. The fuse did not trip.
Anyone has a clue why the outlet and the plug are burnt? I am planning
to just replace the burnt outlets and the appliance plug, but I really
prefer to know what caused the burning in the first place.
Here are 2 photos showing the plug and the outlet:

Thanks
Why are two outlets discolored? Is it a fuse or a circuit-breaker,
fuses blow, circuit breakers trip, you mixed up words for both
devices, which is it?
