Electrical Interlock Kits

EIK1 Electrical Interlock Kit

Electrical interlocks for heavy duty safety switches 30 A through 1200 A are available as field installed kits, or on Type 12 or Type 4X enclosure factory installed. A pivot arm operates from the switch mechanism, breaking the control circuit before the main switch blades break. See supplemental digest section 2 for contact ratings. UL Listed for factory or field installation.

For factory installation catalog numbers available on Type 12 or 4X enclosures use the product configurator.

Internal Barrier Kits

SS20

Internal barrier kits provide an additional barrier that helps prevent accidental contact with live parts. Field-installed transparent barriers do not restrict visual inspection of the switch. Barrier provides IEC529 IP2X protection when door of enclosed disconnect switch is open. Designed with convenient door for accessing fuses for replacement without removing barrier, and allows use of test probes.

Internal barrier kits are not designed to meet NEC2020 for service entrance applications, see Line Side Barrier Kits for Heavy Duty Safety Switch for meeting this standard.

NOTE: Standard package quantity is 6 cans.

Cover Viewing Window – Heavy Duty Single Throw Switches

Cover viewing window is positioned over the blades to allow visual verification of “ONOFF” status.

  • Available as standard on Heavy Duty Single Throw Safety Switches 30, 60, 100, and 200 AMP, Type 1, Type 3R, Type 12, and Type 4X Stainless Steel Enclosures.

  • Units can be obtained without window on Type 12 and Type 4X stainless steel devices – shipped from factory.

  • Available as factory modification on Type 12 and Type 4X enclosures – 400, 600, 800, and 1200 A.

Lock OFF / Lock ON

Optional Lock-OFF Guard Kit Installed

Lock off provisions are standard on Heavy Duty Switches

Lock-on is also available as a factory modification on Type 12 and 304 Stainless Steel Type 4X enclosures. Obtain by selecting on product configurator.

Lock Off Guard Kits

For field installed kits, the lock off guard works by covering the lockout tagout openings whenever the switch is in the ON POSITION. This protects against a padlock from being inadvertently inserted into the switch lockplate. Available ONLY for use on Type 1, Type 3R, Type 12, Heavy Duty Safety Switches.
