Electrical Lockout Devices

Disconnect switches are often connected to electrical lines incoming into electrical panels. While locking out circuit breakers can be effective to isolate electrical energy, it is always best to Lockout disconnects if they are available as they provide true isolation.

There are different ways to lock out electrical disconnects depending on the application.

only one Authorized Employee is locking out the panel using the disconnect, then one of the following DEenergize padlocks series can be used:

• Laminated Steel Padlock (PSL-6 Series)
• Anodized Aluminum Padlock (PSL-7 Series)
• Non-Conductive Padlock (PSL-8 Series)
• Generic Laminated Steel Padlock (GPSL-6 Series)
• Generic Anodized Aluminum Padlock (GPSL-7 Series)
• Generic Non-Conductive Padlock (GPSL-8 Series)

Typical Padlock shown below.

If more than one employee needs to lock out the panel at the disconnect switch, then a hasp is needed to accommodate multiple padlocks and one of the following DEenergize devices can be used:

• Lockout Hasp (PSL-1 Series)
• Heavy Duty Lockout Hasp (PSL-HD Series)
• Multiple Lockout Device (PSL-MLD)

Typical Hasp shown below.
