Blown fuses indicate overload in the electrical circuit. Possible short-circuit or higher input voltage.
Tripped circuit breakers I guess means:
A residual-current device (RCD), similar to a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) which is used for breaking the circuit when electric current pass through a man or could cause fire/burning in the/near the electrical sockets.
That something in the circuit has pulled more current than intended.
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.
Usually there will be lights or equipment in the house that will not operate. If all of the branch circuit breakers or fuses have not tripped or blown the only conclusion left is that the main breaker or fuse has tripped or blown.
Connecting a live wire to ground can cause a short circuit. This can lead to a sudden surge of electricity flowing through the circuit and may result in a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse, as well as potential damage to electrical equipment and a risk of fire. It can also pose a serious shock hazard to anyone in contact with the grounded object.
As far as a fuse like in a car or even larger versions of the fuses in a car you should be able to see inside the little wire; if the fuse has burnt amd is split in two parts the fuse has been broken. In a circuit breaker it works a little differently, instead of burning out and needing to be replaced, the breaker will "trip" this means there is too much current being drawn through the circuit and the setup cannot handle it. A breaker instead will click to the off position and the switch will flip from on to off. These are much easier to locate than a burnt fuse because in a breaker box usually all the switches are turned to on and in the same direction, so the one breaker that did trip will be pointed in the opposite direction. Simply flip the switch from off to on and its been reset. If the breaker keeps tripping then there is either a short or you have too many loads (appliances) running on that circuit, for instance a power strip with 6 things plugged into it all running at the same time.

The power outage in half of the house was caused by a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker.
Your outlet may not be working due to a tripped circuit breaker, a blown fuse, a faulty outlet, or a wiring issue. It is recommended to check the circuit breaker, replace any blown fuses, test the outlet with a different device, and consult a professional electrician if needed.
Outlets can stop working due to issues such as a tripped circuit breaker, a blown fuse, a faulty outlet, or wiring problems.
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.
Because you have blown a fuse or tripped a circuit breaker. This is caused by a) too much equipment plugged into a single circuit, or b) faulty equipment causing a short circuit.
That something in the circuit has pulled more current than intended.
There may be no power to the doorbell due to a faulty wiring connection, a blown fuse, a tripped circuit breaker, or a malfunctioning doorbell button or transformer.
The outlets in this room may not be working due to a tripped circuit breaker, a blown fuse, a faulty outlet, or an issue with the wiring. It is recommended to check the circuit breaker, replace any blown fuses, test the outlet with a different device, and consult a professional electrician if needed.
There could be several reasons why your outlets suddenly stopped working, such as a tripped circuit breaker, a blown fuse, a faulty outlet, or a wiring issue. It is recommended to check the circuit breaker, reset any tripped breakers, and if the issue persists, contact a qualified electrician for further inspection and repairs.
