Can the operating handle of an FA060Y circuit breaker enclosure be padlocked in the OFF position?
Product Line:
Circuit Breaker Enclosures
Resolution:
Yes, the external operating handle is provided with integral provisions for padlocking the handle in the OFF position ONLY. With the external operating handle in the OFF position, push the padlock provision tab located on the handle back, which will then allow a padlock to be placed around the handle.
NOTE: WITHOUT PUSHING THE LOCKING PROVISION TAB ON THE HANDLE BACK, A PADLOCK COULD BE PLACED AROUND THE HANDLE, BUT IT WOULD NOT LOCK THE HANDLE IN PLACE. THE LOCKING PROVISION TAB MUST BE PUSHED BACK TO ACTIVATE THE LOCKING MECHANISM.
