If you smell burning plastic or see smoke near an electrical socket or the fuse box, immediately switch off the main circuit breaker and call emergency services. A burning smell in electrical systems almost always means a wire or mechanism is overheating to the point of melting its insulation. The next natural step is a fire. Switching off the main breaker cuts power and allows time for a technician to arrive without further damage. There are two approaches to adding a new socket where there was none before. The first is chasing. Cutting a channel in the wall from the nearest socket to the new point, running the cable inside, and closing the channel with plaster. This is the cleanest visually but involves minor construction work and repainting the wall. Timeframe: 4-6 hours plus wall repair.

Another mistake is to ignore the burning smell, thinking it's something new that will settle. Modern electronic devices do not smell of burning plastic under normal use. If they do, a component is melting. This is always a cause for an urgent call. If there's a burning smell or smoke, switch off the main circuit breaker and open windows. If it's just a residual current device tripping, do not attempt to reset it more than 3 times. If the residual current device trips constantly, you have an earth leakage somewhere in the installation. Do not reset it more than three times in a row. Each attempt puts extra stress on the components. Locate the suspicious appliance by disconnecting them one by one, and if you can't find the cause, call an electrician. Earth leakage can be due to a faulty appliance, moisture in a mechanism box, or degraded cable.
