5) Key Lock “K5” (Key KD)
The K5 interlock is a single cylinder lock
and is used to open and lock the test port
shutters.
The KD key, which normally resides in the
K4 interlock, is available only when the
ground making switch is in the closed
and locked position. The KD key is then
inserted into interlock K5. With the locking
bolt retracted and the test port shutters
are unlocked, the KD key is retained. Key
KD is removable only when the locking
bolt is extended in either of two positions.
One position is with the test port shutters
closed, and the other position is with the
test probes installed in the test ports and
the shutter moved to the probe locking
position.

Q. I
nterchAnGeABIlIty
PowlVac ground and test devices are not
interchangeable between the Con Edison and
Customer compartments. The rating rejection
interlocks (coding plates) will allow a ground
and test device labeled “Con Edison” into only
Con Edison incoming feeder compartments.
Additionally, a ground and test device labeled
“Customer” can be inserted into only customer
feeder compartments.
