If it has a switch you can consider turning it off, but never pull a circuit breaker.
Quite so. A circuit breaker is NOT a switch, it is a circuit protection device.
Ever since the Halifax SwissAir crash, commercial operators have been far more reluctant to reset a popped CB than hitherto. We used to permit one reset only; if it popped again, it was to be left.
Unlike my navigator in an F-4, who reset the same CB some 8 times until he queried it with me.......
