The NEC requires a disconnecting means for a service would the main breaker of the panel be code for a disconnecting means?

Why you switch off circuit breakers before operate disconnecting switch at substation?

It probably doesn't matter. But a "disconnecting means", as the NEC calls it, is not intended to be operated while under load, which is when the equipment is running. It is intended to isolate the equipment so it can be serviced safely. A breaker by its very nature is intended to be operated under load. The larger the equipment, the more this matters.

Toggle = back and forth, or on and off. A toggle switch toggles (turns) a light or other device on or off. Good example is a light switch (the wall kind)-- a toggle switch must also be of the "throw the stick back and forth" kind. Which a light switch basically is.


What is a DPST switch?

DPST is short for double pole, single throw. Double pole means that the unit contains two identical switches, side by side, and operated by one single toggle or lever. This means that two separate input wires can be controlled by a flick of one toggle. Single throw means that each switch can make or break a circuit; it can connect the input wire to the output, or not. It can't connect to one or other of two output wires, switching between them. A DPDT switch is also used for a disconnecting a 240 volt supply from a 240 volt load. Some other types of switches are Single Pole Single Throw (ordinary light switch), Single Pole Double Throw, Double Pole Double Throw, Triple Pole Single Throw and Triple Pole Double Throw

What does com mean on a light switch?

In a situation where there is only one switch controlling the light or lights you normally use a spst (single pole single throw) switch that has only two connection terminals. This type of switch either connects or disconnects the two wires that are connected to the switch's terminals depending upon the position if the switch lever. The com terminal on a light switch means that it is a three way or the kind of switch used where there are two or more switches that controll the same light or lights. The three way switch is a spdt ( single pole double throw) . If you look closely you will find this designation somewhere on the switch. On the spdt switch you have three terminals, a common and two branches. In one postiion the common connects to one branch and in the second position the common connects to the other branch. If you are trying to install this switch in a situation where there is more than one switch controlling the light you must have the ability to correctly identify the common wire; if you can't do that you need help from someone who can do that correctly.
