The temporary lock-out tag-out switch is installed one per live conductor. Combined with a temporary by-pass jumper cable equipped with eyescrew clamps, the temporary lock-out tag-out switch is used to open or close a circuit, particularly in the context of a lockout operation. They can be opened or closed and locked in the required position from the ground by an operator, thanks to the insulated rods that are connected to the temporary switches. Once the required maneuver has been carried out the insulated rods can then be placed and secured in the case which prohibits access to unauthorized personnel thanks to a padlock (sold separately). The case is also use for transportation of the insulating rods. The device should preferably be installed on conductors that remain live after switching in the context of a lockout situation, so that the temporary by-pass jumpers remains de-energized. The temporary lock-out tag-out switch is only use on networks where the rated voltage equal or inferior to 24kV.
