🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic operation of circuit breakers and how they indicate a fault condition • Visual vs. temperature-based indicators of an electrical problem • What a mariner can safely and quickly check without special equipment

💭 Think About

• Which option describes a clear, built‑in indication that the breaker is in its normal ON position versus its TRIPPED position? • Which options rely on secondary effects of overheating rather than the breaker’s designed indication method? • Onboard in an emergency, what is the fastest, most reliable way to see that a breaker opened the circuit?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is a direct, intentional indication provided by the breaker’s design, not a side effect • Eliminate options that depend on heat, discoloration, or special tools rather than the breaker’s normal status indicator • Ask yourself: which method would the manufacturer expect you to use during routine checks?
