What does a green tower beacon signify?

A green tower beacon typically signifies that a system is operating in automatic mode. This visual indicator conveys to operators and personnel that the system is functioning normally and under automated control, suggesting that it is actively performing its intended operations without any current issues.

In contrast, a red beacon might indicate a fault or alert condition, while an amber or yellow beacon could suggest a system in manual mode or under maintenance. The green beacon’s consistent representation of normal operational status plays an essential role in facilitating quick assessments of system health and operational readiness for personnel who may be monitoring the situation. Understanding these visual indicators helps in maintaining safety and operational efficiency in environments where switchgear is utilized.
