Aircraft
While on approach to our planned destination; the landing gear was selected down at which time our Power Brakes circuit breaker opened and we received an Anti-Skid Inop annunciator and a LO Bake Pressure annunciator as well the Master Caution. We performed a go-around to assess the situation and run the abnormal checklist. We determined that we would not have our Normal Braking system. We diverted to a nearby major airport. We selected the longest runway and while on final approach we declared minimum fuel. We landed without Normal Brakes using the Emergency Brake system and thrust reversers. We were able to taxi clear of the runway however we requested and received a tug to tow us to the General Aviation Ramp.
A CE560XL Power Brakes circuit breaker opened simultaneously annunciating the Anti-Skid Inop and LO Brake Pressure so a go around was executed and the flight diverted to nearby major airport.
