Device Padlocking
The circuit breaker may be locked in the OFF position by using one to three padlocks (not supplied) or in the ON position after customer modification of the rotary handle before installation, padlock shackle Ø4–8 mm (3/16–5/16 in.). Locking in the ON position does not prevent the circuit breaker from tripping if an overload or short circuit condition occurs. In this case, the handle remains in the ON position after the circuit breaker trips. Unlocking is required for the handle to go to the tripped position then the OFF position to reset the circuit breaker.
Variations: Door Locking
Door locking built-in functionality can be activated by the customer to prevent opening the door when the circuit breaker is ON or in trip position. For exceptional situations, door locking can be temporarily bypassed with a tool by qualified personel to open the door when the circuit breaker is closed.
