form you question i found out that your circuit bearker panal has burn too ,,in case not to happne again you please have got to check the AMPS at both ,,the bulb and the hell circuit breaker ,,the buy the high of AMPS for ur circit breaker .
If the GFI outlet is tripped (the outlet, not the breaker) then it is telling you there is a ground fault which must be fixed. If the GFI outlet is not tripped, and the breaker is not tripped, but it is still not providing power, then you have a loose connection or a wiring error.
If the fault was on the 20 amp branch circuit, the branch circuit breaker should have tripped, not the main breaker. Call a qualified electrician to check out your wiring.
Check the circuit panel / breaker box. The tripped breaker should be partway between 'OFF' and 'ON'. If nothing else, turn the breakers off then on, one at a time and when the tripped breaker is reset, the circuit should be live again. Also check GFI outlets. If one is in fault condition, it will need to be reset. If the tripped GFI outlet is protecting other outlets, they will come back when the tripped GFI is reset. These sockets seem to hide in many cases... Behind microwave ovens for example or refrigerators.
If the breaker is damaged it will not reset to the on position. It will stay in the tripped position.
If it's a GFCI receptacle and the button is not resetting then change the GFCI outlet.

The function is the same in that they both are designed to remove an over current situation by opening the circuit. A tripped breaker can just be reset. A blown fuse needs to be replaced.
It is another way of stating that the circuit breaker has tripped due to an over current.
Check the circuit breaker to see if it tripped.

It is possible if the circuit breaker has tripped or is faulty. The best way to check is by unplugging the air conditioner, and plugging in a table lamp. If the lamp lights up, then you know that the circuit breaker is working, if not then it is faulty.

The bulbs are in connected series. There was a short circuit and the circuit breaker tripped.
It is safer to find out why the breaker tripped before the power is turned on. Turn off all equipment, then turn on the supply, then turn on each appliance one by one to find the culprit.
Yes this could be true. The breaker to the load will have tripped. The main breaker should still be allowing voltage to the distribution panel because it did not trip. If the main breaker tripped then the distribution panel must have been close to maximum amperage and the shorting of the branch circuit was enough to trip the mains.

First check the obvious. See if the circuit breaker has been tripped.
