If you blew a fuse in your house but the breaker does not show a blown fuse you still have no power to half your house what next?

If it is half the house, that implies the main breaker or the line coming in. Sometimes, double breakers will trip one of them and not the other. It looks like it is still on. Try flipping the breaker off and back on. If you feel comfortable doing it, open up the panel and check each breaker to see if current is getting through them. Just a two prong test light will tell you this. Start on the main, it may be that one of the lines coming in is dead. Looking at the question, you blew a fuse but the breaker does not show a blown fuse. You shouldn't have both in the same circuit. If you have screw in fuses there should be 2 large Buss fuses at the top of the panel. One of these could be blown. These have to be checked with a tester, there is no way to tell just by looking.

If the breaker does not show a blown fuse but you still have no power to half your house, it's possible that the issue lies with a tripped breaker that isn't visibly noticeable. Try flipping all the breakers off and on to reset them. If that doesn't work, you may need to consult an electrician to identify and fix the problem.

Lost power to a section of my house on the same circuit. Have reset all the circuits and still no power?
It's possible that a fuse or breaker has blown and needs to be replaced. Check the circuit breaker panel for any tripped breakers and reset them. If that doesn't restore power, you may need to consult an electrician to diagnose and fix the issue, as there could be a more serious problem with the wiring or electrical system.
Is there still current in the overhead wires that lead to a house when the house electricity is off?
No, when the house electricity is off, there is no current flowing through the overhead wires leading to the house. The electricity needs to be actively supplied from the power grid for current to be present in the wires.
Does the current still flow when the circuit has blown?
No, when a circuit has blown, it is broken and current cannot flow through it. This is typically due to a fuse or circuit breaker protecting the circuit from damage by interrupting the flow of electricity.
Why is the power off on on breaker when it is not flipped off?
Turning the breaker on allows the power to flow through to the outlets, lights, and appliances on that circuit, so yes power goes to and through a turned on breaker. If the breaker is off, but the main power is on, power still get to the breaker, usually from the bus bar that runs down the middle of the back of the breaker box.
Can breaker be bad and still show voltage?
Yes, a breaker can still show voltage even if it is faulty. It may be due to a poor connection or a malfunctioning internal mechanism within the breaker. It's important to have a qualified electrician inspect and resolve the issue to ensure safety.

Why don't your lights in your home come on what now?
Check your breaker panel or fuse box, if they are not tripped or blown that's not the problem. If there has been a storm, look to see if power lines to your house are down. DO NOT GET NEAR THEM! If they are you need to call an electrician and the power company. If your power lines are OK, look and see if your neighbors have power. Look all around you because you and your neighbor next door may be on a separate circuit than the people across the street. If they have power you still need to call an electrician. If their power is out it is a general thing so be patient, call the power company and relax. You also need to find some candles and a flashlight for when it gets dark.
You think somebody is using your electric supply?
You would not be the first person to have someone else tap into your electric power. If you are in a detached house, it is fairly easy to find out. Turn off everything in the house. Leave the circuit breakers on. Have someone stand outside by the meter. See if the meter still runs. (You may need to turn off the breaker to the hot water.) If the meter is still running when nothing in the house is turned on, you can call the power company to come out and check.

What is tripping relay?
You need to remove everything connected to the breaker and see if it still trips. If it does it is in the wiring or possibly a bad breaker. Disconnect load from breaker and see if it still trips. If so replace the breaker. If it still trips and is not the breaker then you will have to start pulling each outlet from wall and checking after disconnecting each outlet.
