Re: Has your phone socket ever caught fire?
Of course these are exteme examples. In the normal course of events the 48 volt supply on the phone line has very little current available so in itself would have insufficient energy to cause a fire. In fact just taking the phone off the hook drops this to around 24v. It's this action that alerts the exchange to give you a line and the dialing tone.
