Systems and methods for a modular enclosure with a door interlock
A modular enclosure comprises a first enclosure having a first enclosure cavity and a first door, and a second enclosure coupled to the first enclosure, the second enclosure having a second enclosure cavity and a second door. A power handle may be connected to the first enclosure, and can be operable to turn on power to the second enclosure in an ON position or turn off power to the second enclosure in an OFF position. The modular enclosure may further include a lockout assembly configured to prevent the second door from being opened while the power handle is in the ON position, and to prevent the first door from being opened until second door has been opened.

Electrical substation safety barrier device and method
A safety device is configured to be attached to components in an electrical substation to provide a physical and visual barrier between de-energized components and energized components in the electrical substation. The safety may include a safety barrier board formed from an electrically insulating material and configured to be attached to fastening devices that attach the safety barrier board to components in the substation. Each fastening device may be an inverted-J-hook configured to be attached to a surface of the safety barrier board or a coupling link attached to a variable length fastening component and an attachment hook.
