Circuit breakers offer positive contact indication and are suitable for isolation in accordance with standards IEC/EN60947-1 and IEC/EN60947-2. The O (OFF) position of the actuator is sufficient to isolate the circuit breaker.

The following markings on the device identification label indicate that the devices are capable of isolation:

	Circuit Breaker
	Automatic Switch

In accordance with installation rules, circuit breakers can be locked in the O (OFF) position so that work can be carried out with the power off. Circuit breakers can be locked in the O (OFF) position only when they are open.

The choice of locking device depends on the type of actuator:

• Locking circuit breakers with a toggle handle (see Locking of a Circuit Breaker with a Toggle Handle)

• Locking circuit breakers with a direct rotary handle (see Locking a Circuit Breaker with a Direct Rotary Handle)

• Locking circuit breakers with an extended rotary handle (see Locking a Circuit Breaker with a Front Extended Rotary Handle)

• Locking circuit breakers with a side rotary handle (see Locking a Circuit Breaker with a Side Rotary Handle)

• Locking circuit breakers with a 9421 rotary handle (see Locking a Circuit Breaker with a 9421 Rotary Handle)

• Locking circuit breakers with a 9422 toggle handle (see Locking a Circuit Breaker with a 9422 Toggle Handle)
