Flex ware inverter bypass slide [RE-wrenches]

[Christopher Freitas --- OutBack Power]

Tump - with all respect - I think this is not an issue with the design 
of the FLEXware 250 AC bypass slider plate - but with your expectation 
of what the AC bypass slider plate is suppose to do. 

The purpose of the OutBack AC bypass slider plate is to prevent both of 
the AC breakers from being turned to the "ON" position at the same time 
- one breaker is the inverter output while the other is the bypass 
breaker which connects the AC input to the AC output. When properly 
installed, the OutBack AC bypass slider plate will also allow both of 
the breakers to be put in the "OFF" position as well.  

I think your issue is that the OutBack AC bypass slider plate on the 
FLEXware 250 does not force one breaker to the ON position when the 
other is switched to the OFF position - Correct?  

This simply is just not possible to do AND allow both of the breakers to 
also be set to the OFF positions which is a requirement of the NEC code, 
UL standard and basic safe design.  

It is true that the bypass slider plate used on the MIDNITE boxes does 
force the other breaker to the ON position when the other is turned OFF 
- but because of this, the design also prevents you from turning them 
both to the OFF position - which is not compliant with the requirements 
of the UL standards,  the NEC code and basic safe design.  

The MIDNITE bypass slider also does not allow the breaker to indicate 
that is has tripped - which is another requirement of the UL standards, 
NEC code and basic safe design.    

So - please correct me if I am wrong here - but I think this is your 
issue?  

Also Note - You actually can make the one breaker go to the ON position 
with the OutBack AC bypass slider plate simply by moving the breaker's 
handle to the on position and allowing the bypass slider plate to do its 
job - forcing the other breaker to trip to the off position before the 
other breaker gets to the ON position.  Just moving only the bypass 
slider plate alone will not achieve this and is what I think your issue 
is?
