Main Line Circuit Breaker (Generator

Disconnect)

See Figure 3-4. This is a 2-pole main line circuit breaker

(MLCB) (generator disconnect) (A) rated according to rel-

evant specifications.

The generator MLCB (generator disconnect) can be

locked in OFF (OPEN) for security. Use an appropriately-

sized padlock (not included) with a shackle long enough

to pass through both lock tabs (B).

Figure 3-4. Main Line Circuit Breaker (MLCB)

NOTE: DO NOT leave generator MLCB (generator dis-

connect) locked in OFF (OPEN) during normal generator

operation. Leaving generator MLCB (generator discon-

nect) in OFF (OPEN) will prevent generator from power-

ing structure during a power outage when placed in

AUTO mode.

LED Indicator Lights

See Figure 3-5. Three LEDs are visible behind a translu-

cent lens on the generator side panel. These LEDs indi-

cate generator operating status.

Figure 3-5. LED Indicator Lights

• Green LED “Ready” light (A) illuminates when util-

ity is present and control panel is in AUTO. LED

flashes when automatic transfer switch converts to

generator power during a utility power outage.

ator is OFF or a fault is detected. Contact an IASD.

• Yellow LED “Non-Critical Alert” light (C) illuminates
