A safety switch arrangement with a safety switch and an actuator associated with it. Moreover, a locking unit is provided for, by means of which the actuator is locked in a latched position. The safety switch has an auxiliary unlocking unit that has a mechanically actuatable actuating element. An actuation of the actuating element is implemented only with a transmission element as a positioning movement for the locking unit.

An adjustable distance lever circuit breaker interlock to prevent during selection that two different electric power sources feeds a circuit breaker busbar panel simultaneously. Adapted to be positioned between two vertically adjacent set of main circuit breaker feeders. One of the circuit breakers connected to the utilitarian power source and the other one connected to an auxiliary power source. Having a body and engagement similar to a circuit breaker interchangeable with different brands includes; General Electric, Siemens, Square D Home line, and others. Also works in the types twins and bricks main for panels. An alternative embodiment can be utilized in others types of branches including Square D type QO, and another alternative embodiment can be utilized for the types Din rails.

A rocker switch assembly includes a housing having at least one bracket with a bracket stop formed therein, and a rocker actuator pivotably mounted on the housing. At least one wedge lock is pivotably mounted on the rocker actuator, the wedge lock pivotable between a locked position in which the wedge lock engages the bracket stop formed in the bracket, thereby preventing pivoting of the rocker actuator with respect to the housing in at least one direction, and a retracted position in which the wedge lock is disengaged from the bracket stop formed in the bracket so as to allow for pivoting of the rocker actuator with respect to the housing. A lock release button is also provided, actuation of which from a resting position to a release position causes the wedge lock to move to the retracted position.

A lock switch module for an appliance door-lock is provided. The lock switch module may include a PCB (printed circuit board) with an insulating support, multiple conductive tracks applied to the insulating support, an electrical connector, multiple terminals connected to respective conductive tracks, and a door-lock switch that is electrically connected between two of the conductive tracks. A locking pin can move between retracted and extracted positions and cooperate with the door-lock switch to correspondingly change the door-lock switch's state. A low voltage electric motor has a rotating output shaft and is connected electrically to at least two conductive tracks of the PCB. A transmission mechanism is operatively positioned between the output shaft of the electric motor and the locking pin to drive, following the actuation of the electric motor, the movement of the locking pin between the retracted and extracted positions.

A safety lockout device can include a main body, a receiving portion of the main body configured to receive a portion of an arm of an electrical switch, and a locking portion of the main body configured to be inserted into a receiving portions of the electrical switch.

A lockout device for a switch assembly includes a body defining a bottom surface and a recess extending inward from the bottom surface to receive a toggle switch, first and second clamping portions disposed on first and second longitudinal sides of the recess, and an adjustable cleat member secured with the body and movable between a retracted position in which the cleat member is retained inward of the bottom surface of the body and an extended position in which the cleat member extends beyond the bottom surface of the body.

A manually operated disconnect maintains a machine/process in a de-energized state. The disconnect employs a sensor that automatically detects, via wireless communication, a lock affixed to the disconnect that locks the disconnect in an open state. Processing circuitry coupled to the sensor determines lockout tagout data, such as identification of a user associated with the lock, a time of application of the lock, and data identifying and/or locating the disconnect or a machine/process to which the disconnect provides power when in a closed state. Memory circuitry coupled to the processing circuitry stores the lockout tagout data, and holds it available for user review, transmission, analysis, reporting, and so forth.

Implementations of the subject matter described herein provide an apparatus for use in a switch. The apparatus includes: a handle including a first slot; a mode button operable to change an operation mode of the switch, the mode button including a second slot; a slider coupled to the mode button and movable in a first direction in association with a movement of the mode button, the slider including a first block; a lever operable to be opened in a rotatable manner and including a pin, wherein when the mode button is set at a service position, the first block is received in the first slot to maintain the handle; and in response to the lever being opened in the rotatable manner, the pin is operable to pass through the second slot to prevent the movement of the mode button. Such apparatus herein provides a lock mechanism that may prevent mistake operation between different operation modes.
