Which code type allows the generator to continue operating while faults are corrected?

• A. Fault code
• B. Warning code
• C. Informational code
• D. Shutdown code

Answer: (B)

When a control system marks an abnormal condition but the generator can keep running, a warning code is used. It signals that something isn’t right and needs attention, but it won’t force a shutdown, so production can continue while operators address the fault. A fault code would typically trigger protective actions to stop or isolate the unit to prevent damage. An informational code communicates status with no required action, and a shutdown code forces an immediate stop. So a warning code is the type that allows continued operation while faults are corrected.
