SwitchFix Background

SwitchFix isolator lockouts provide padlocking facilities for switches and circuit breakers whose lockout facilities are insufficient, poorly designed or damaged. The lockout device will only allow the switch or circuit breaker to be locked in the “OFF” position.

In some cases switch handles can be easily rotated to the “ON” position with the isolator locking device in place. This occurs due to a previous de-isolation with the switch handle locking clip extended.

In some cases circuit breaker handles, also used for emergency supply applications, can be inadvertently locked in the “ON” position as only 35 degrees, or 25mm MCCB handle rotation, differentiates the “ON” and “OFF” positions.
