Click to expand... The SquareD QO series comes to mind, or any breaker whose handle settles to the middle after a trip. And no, it's not a stupid question. Never let an inane reaction stop you from asking, even here.

Others, like GE, have the word TRIP on the breaker that aligns with the handle when the CB is in the tripped position.
