One of the things that contractors run into a lot in the course of doing their job is exposure to potentially hazardous energy sources. One of the most common energy sources that they'll encounter is electricity.
Electricity can be extremely dangerous to work on, so contractors and installers will want to make sure to deenergize those electrical energy sources. A great way to do that is to trace it back to the source, to a circuit breaker. Brady has a line of lockout/tagout devices for circuit breakers that they demonstrate in this video.
The single-pole breaker is one of the most common seen in panels. Using a Clamp-On style of circuit breaker lockout device, installation is simple and fast. The Clamp-On style comes in three different sizes; the one used in the demonstration and two larger sizes for 480 and 600 volt circuit breakers.
Another very common breaker is a double pole breaker. For double pole breakers, Brady's Clamp-On breaker lockouts are easy to install using a patented thumbscrew design.
Brady has a lockout device for a single pole breaker designed for when you need to close the panel door after you lock out the circuit breaker. It's a low profile lockout device, paired with a slim profile safety padlock and smaller tags, allowing installers to close the panel door to keep it secure.
For multiple circuit breakers in a panel that you want to lock out at one time but use one padlock, Brady has a new cable lock device. Run the cable end through the different breakers that you've got lockout devices attached to, then run it back through the locks.
Everything demonstrated in this video is available from Graybar.
