What is a bus disconnect link used to isolate?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — the generator circuit breaker from the bus
Bus disconnect links provide physical isolation between the generator circuit breaker and the main switchboard bus. Under IEEE 45 and 46 CFR requirements, this allows safe lockout/tagout procedures, maintenance, and insulation resistance testing without energizing downstream switchboard sections.
