Electrical Lockout

FAQs

What is an electrical lockout device?

An electrical lockout device is used to isolate electrical equipment by securing circuit breakers, plugs, switches or other power sources in the off position. This prevents accidental energisation while maintenance or repairs are being carried out.

Which electrical lockout device do I need?

The correct device depends on the type of electrical equipment you’re isolating. Options are available for miniature and moulded case circuit breakers, plug sockets, wall switches and electrical panels. Always choose a lockout device designed for your specific equipment.

Can electrical lockout devices be used with safety padlocks?

Yes. Electrical lockout devices are designed to work with safety padlocks and lockout tags, allowing authorised workers to secure the isolation point and clearly identify who has locked out the equipment until work is complete.
