The project is to disconnect the wires from the breaker because the stove
has been removed and I do not like to have hot wires dangling around.

Look for a breaker that is the width of two breakers. And has a number
"50"
twice on the wide handle. That's the most likely one.

Of course, you could take the front of the panel off and look for the
large
red and black wires.....

Caution! don't reach into the panel for any reason unless you're 100% sure
what you're doing.

Incidentally, what's the project? Why do you need to know which breaker?
Are
you wiring something else, or unwiring, or what?

I want to identify a circuit breaker for a disconnected stove in my main
panel (looks like # 6 red and black wires). This is a large house and the
main panel is a maze of wires and breakers (200 A service).

How can I tell which breaker controls this particular circuit? Can I just
turn off the main switch, short-circuit the wires, and turn the main on
again? Will this damage the Main breaker?

Thanks for your help
