Padlocking Device
Accessory for mechanically locking a device handle or operating mechanism in a defined position using a padlock.
A padlocking device prevents unauthorized or accidental change of an electrical device position.
Depending on the design, it may lock the device in OFF, ON or another defined operating or service position.
Padlock compatibility depends in part on the minimum and maximum shackle diameter accepted by the locking mechanism.
Selection criteria include device series, lockable positions, number of padlocks, shackle-diameter range and applicable LOTO procedures.
Padlocking devices for breakers, disconnectors and other electrical devices.
