In 700.5(B)Bypass Isolation Switch it is stated
"Means shall be permitted to bypass and isolate the transfer equipment."

Would it be correct to state this is not a requirement for a bypass switch but instead a statement allowing the use of a bypass isolation switch in conjunction with an emergency transfer switch if desired?

Thank you

Yes. "Shall be permitted" always grants permission without imposing a requirement. The next sentence in 700.5(B), though, imposes some requirements when you choose to use that permission.

Welcome to the forum.

"Shall be permitted" is another way of saying "shall not be prohibited."
