Simply repeating yourself is not going to give you answers. Start by posting your state.

Did you discuss the electricity with her like an adult or did you just stop paying rent to retaliate? Did you contact code enforcement regarding the electricity issue?

In any future posts, please make an effort to use something that resembles proper capitalization and punctuation.

As best I can understand what you wrote, you failed to pay rent because of an assumption. I'm at a loss as to why anyone would do that and wonder why you didn't discuss the matter with your landlord before withholding rent. That said, "want[ing] to evict" means nothing, except that you now have time to resolve this issue. Call or visit your landlord and discuss what you believe is a fair resolution.

Assuming you live one of our states in the USA Your city building inspections could have come out and verified that there were circuit breakers- fuses that were serving something else other than your apartment , What you didn't say was when you first moved in how many living units were in the building and how many electric meters there are. ( nor did you tell us what happened when you turned your fuse boxes main off ) and it really was important to include state name because some states are indeed crystal clear as to rules about tenants paying the bills on shared meters ( and some cities have even addressed it too)
