My wife plugged multiple electric heaters into the master bedroom circuit and the power shut off. I went to the breaker panel and none of the breakers were obviously off. I threw the master bedroom breaker and could hear the bedroom TV turn back on. Unfortunately, I didn't make sure that my wife turned off the heaters before I did that and power turned off again. When it did, there was no indication on the breaker that it had tripped. I threw the switch multiple times, power didn't come back. I tested the CAFI breaker and it seemed fine, but I replaced it just in case. Still no luck. There are no GFCIs in the circuit. I'm getting 108 volts between hot/neutral on every receptacle in the circuit, and 125 between hot/ground on every receptacle in the circuit, but nothing works when I plug it in. I visually inspected all the neutral connections and everything seems fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have no idea where to go from here.
Voltage at receptacle, nothing works
