Padlocks and Keylocks
SecoGear offers various padlocking features and optional
keylock operation. In some cases, it is necessary to use
more than one padlocking feature for proper lockout/tagout
protection.
Circuit Breaker Racking Port Padlock Provision
The racking access port padlocking provision is located at the
bottom and in the middle of the door (Figure 9-8).
This lock prevents racking in a circuit breaker whenever the
door is closed. The door padlocking provision, described
below, must also be used to make sure the circuit breaker
cannot be racked in by unauthorized personnel.

Overall Switchgear
Make the following checks on the complete switchgear
equipment.
1. Clean and inspect all painted surfaces, and retouch
where necessary.
2. Check to see that all anchor bolts and other structural
bolts are tight.
3. Check that all circuit breaker and instrument compartment
door latches operate properly.
4. If the switchgear is equipped with heaters, check to see that
all heaters are energized and operating.
5. For exterior vent openings in equipment furnished with
air filters, the foam filter elements should be removed and
washed in warm soapy water, rinsed, and reassembled
at least annually. Elements should be inspected before
re-assembly and replaced if any signs of deterioration
are evident.
