• Wire seal

• Two screws

The opening button and the closing button can be locked independently.

Two accessories are available for device locking in the OFF position:

• VCPO with padlocks

• VSPO with keylocks

The circuit breaker can be locked in the OFF position by physically maintaining pressing down on the opening pushbuttonn:

• Using padlocks (one to three padlocks, not supplied), shackle diameter 5–8 mm (3/16–5/16 in.)
• Using keylocks (one or two different keylocks, supplied).

Keys may be removed only when locking is effective (Profalux or Ronis type locks).

The keylocks are available in any of the following configurations:

• One keylock.

• One keylock mounted on the device + one identical keylock supplied separately for interlocking with another device.

• Two different keylocks for double locking.

Profalux and Ronis keylocks are compatible with each other.

A locking kit (without locks) is available for installation of one or two keylocks (Ronis, Profalux, Kirk™ or Castell).

Located on the device cradle, this option provides a means to lock the circuit breaker in the disconnected position.

• Using padlocks (standard), up to three padlocks (not supplied).

• Using keylocks (VSPD option), one or two different keylocks are available.

Another way to lock the circuit breaker in the disconnected position is to use the locks on the cradle. It is feasible only when the door is closed.

Profalux and Ronis keylocks are available with:

• One keylock.

• Two different keylocks for double locking.

• One (or two) keylocks mounted on the device + one (or two) identical keylocks supplied separately for interlocking with another device.

A locking kit (without locks) is available for installation of one or two keylocks (Ronis, Profalux, Kirk or Castell).

The circuit breaker can be locked in the disconnected position by key interlock (optional) or padlock (standard).

The key interlock is on the cradle and is accessible with the door locked.

• Kirk key interlocks are available for UL/ANSI and IEC circuit breakers.

• Ronis, Castell, or Profalux key locks are also available.

• The key is captive when the key interlock is unlocked.

• Locking on disconnected, test, and connected positions is optional for IEC circuit breakers and standard for UL/ANSI circuit breakers.

The shutters automatically block access to the main disconnects when the circuit breaker is in the disconnected, test, or fully withdrawn position.

Shutter locking can be used to lock the shutters and prevent the circuit breaker from being racked in from the disconnected position.

The shutter lock is installed on the cradle front plate and allows the locking operation to be done outside of the cradle compartment. One to three padlocks can be used. (Padlocks are not supplied.)

This device prevents insertion of the racking handle when the cubicle door is open.

Mounted on the right or left-hand side of the cradle, this device inhibits opening of the cubicle door when the circuit breaker is in the connected or test position.

If the circuit breaker is put in the connected position with the door open, the door may be closed without having to disconnect the circuit breaker

The racking interlock is standard for UL and ANSI circuit breakers, and optional for IEC circuit breakers. It prevents insertion of the racking handle unless the Push to Open button is pressed.

The cradle rejection feature (standard) pairs the properly designated circuit breaker or switch with the appropriate cradle assembly.
