    Can you post some photos of what you have? We have no idea what your talking about "knobs".

    Completely agree with TK.

    Also, if you have a breaker with knobs or adjustments, there is a very real chance you should not be messing with it at all!

    Ahh yes, Stan, I did not think of large molded case breaker with trip settings.

    The dials may be the knobs being referred to.

    Do not adjust any trip settings without having a corrdination study done.
