Narrative:
Flying on an IFR clearance. Let down through cloud cover by center. Advised of reported rime icing in clouds. Activated all de-icing equipment. Handed off to approach. Upon exiting the cloud layer at 6000 ft; airport in sight; cancelled IFR. Attempted to lower landing gear. The two 80 amp main bus breakers popped due to electrical overload. Turned off all de-icing equipment and successfully reset left circuit breaker. The right circuit breaker would not reset. After 5 failed attempts to reset the breaker; initiated emergency gear extension per checklist. Could not determine if the gear was down due to gear indicator lights being inoperative.
