Narrative:
On approach to land at pit airport, I was the PF. I called for the gear. Once the gear was selected down, the first officer and myself observed that there were no green lights. I executed a go around and informed ATC. I then contacted company maintenance and operations. We discovered that a circuit breaker on the annunciator system had popped. This was reset and we landed without incident with 3 green lights. I had asked for the emergency vehicles to be rolled as a precaution. My first officer and I followed company procedures throughout this incident and the outcome was never in doubt. I consider this to be a tribute to the training we received by the company training department.
