Shore power disconnect

Looking for a compatible switch to enable/disable shore power after my Autoformer that will be installed permanently inside an enclosed interior cabinet. I want to be able to check the diagnostic LEDs before energizing the whole TT. I would prefer a rocker, single pole, rated @ 30A, and illuminates when switched on. Looked around online, must be looking in the wrong places.

Why not just use the 30 or 50 amp main circuit breaker in the power distribution panel?

Or you are looking for something like this, and you will have to add an external indicator light:

Or this:

How about something like this, to check pedestal before plugging in. Comes in 30 or 50 amp. Can also find on Amazon. https://www.rvupgradestore.com/Progr...BoCKEQQAvD_BwE

Looked at the Leviton, but I might go with the Powertec; thanks!

Just turn off your main breaker in the panel of your trailer. Look at your lights and if good turn the breaker on. No other connections to fool around with and offer resistance!

Does the unit not turn of bad conditions are sensed and not turn on until safe conditions are met?

It has warning LEDs to tell you if park power is wired correctly. I want to keep the Autoformer out of the elements.
