The Lucas main switch connects the wires together depending on switch position. Basically, a 3 wire alternator is sectioned into 1/3, 2/3, and 3/3 output, and the main switch puts the sections together as the load requires (1/3 no lights, 2/3 pilot, and 3/3 headlight). Connecting the GB and GY together will externally put the alternator into 3/3 output, then the Podtronics switches the alternator ON / OFF as the load requires.You could bypass the main switch altogether and wire the GB + GY to one of the Podtronics Y and the third alternator wire to the other Podtronics Y. The Podtronics will perform the load adjustment rather than the main switch which is really inadequate to the task. This is the way I did my Atlas. I also put a 20 amp fuse in the black Podtronics wire before it connected to the battery (assuming pos. earth which is the Podtronics R wire.Slick
