    If you tried turning all the way off and back on and you have no voltage out of breaker, you may have a bad breaker and/or breaker buss connection.

    All I get from this is that you have a few 240v breakers, one that fed a hot tub, and now one of them is tripping.

    Can you try to explain this a bit clearer, using sentences & punctuation, and tell us what the tripping breaker is feeding?
