You added a extra ‘(’ on line 3 before second tag and lose 1 ‘)’ at the end.

Code should look something like…

```auto
if(tag({Root Container.running})=1,1,
if(tag({Root Container.breaker})=0,3,
if(tag({Root Container.overload})=0&&tag({Root Container.breaker})=1,2,0)))
```

Another way to handle this would be to use binEnc().  
Removes all the layers of if statements and would give you more flexibility to change color, text, etc…

```auto
binEnc(tag({Root Container.running}),tag({Root Container.breaker}),tag({Root Container.overload}))
```

Cheers,
