Single Breaker lock out

thingiverse

LOTO (Lock-out, Tag-out) is a crucial safety measure that shuts off any source of energy to safeguard workers from potential harm or injury. When implementing this Lock-out device, it's essential to block a single circuit breaker by locking it firmly into the off position. To do so effectively, you'll need a bolt and nut along with a padlock. Begin by inserting the nut into the cavity and the bolt into the small orifice, ensuring that its head is aligned towards the padlock holes. Next, place the Lock-out device in the circuit breaker while it's in the off position, then tighten the screw to secure the lock firmly in place. Finally, attach the padlock to prevent removal of the screw. Note: Electrical power workers must always verify the lines with specialized tools before starting work, ensuring there is no live power present. The Lock-out device merely serves as a visible warning to others that the circuit breaker has been safely shut off for operational reasons. However, if someone attempts to forcibly remove it, the lock will yield to pressure.
