We are installing a generator to back up existing elevators.we are feeding 2 200amp ATS switches for 2 banks of elevators and 1 100 amp ATS switch for the emergency lighting system. the generator feeders are going into a trough with terminal blocks. do we need a disconnect to shut down the emergency feeder?(there is a breaker on the generator)

I believe that the answer is no, as long as the breaker on the generator is readily accessible.
