A brand of "push to reset"-type thermal circuit breaker made by EATON HEINEMANN and used on some electronics. When the center portion pops up, it means either the circuit has tripped or the turkey is done.
This type of breaker is not listed under UL489 as a branch circuit overcurrent protective device, only as a supplementary overcurrent protective device. The reason is that it has an insufficient AIC rating for a UL489 listing. A listed branch circuit overcurrent protective device must have a minimum AIC of 5000 amps symmetrical RMS.
