If power is out in one room of the house but the breaker was not tripped what could be the problem?
Check the connections to all the receptacles. On a spur, it's possible that one wire slipped off and then that breaks the circuit, not likely on a ring circuit. It is also possible that you have a GFCI (ELCB UK) in the run that might be tripped and that could bring the run down as well. Of course, the breaker might have tripped and the toggle not flipped over; try manually tripping and resetting it.

How to read a circuit breaker?
To read a circuit breaker, first locate the breaker panel in your home. Each breaker is labeled with a number or description indicating which area of the house it controls. To check if a breaker has tripped, look for one that is in the "off" position or not aligned with the others. To reset a tripped breaker, switch it to the "on" position. If the breaker continues to trip, it may indicate an electrical issue that requires professional attention.
