First of all it was a used AC/DC breaker assembly, from MIT's solar decathlon home & it didn't have the little clip that prevents the SQ D QO bypass breaker from feeding AC input into the AC output. Batteries were low & the generator wouldn't latch on because it too was junk, but for running lights & pumps the low frequency wasn't important. Inverter shut down & I suggested that they switched the inverter bypass on. I don't know if this was not included in the first place or the brains at MIT felt it wasn't necessary! I love my donuts but this one is DEFIANTLY burnt!
