I have a customer, a church, that has installed lockouts on the panel serving the sanctuary. They have installed them backwards so as to prevent someone from turning certain receptacle circuits off when turning the lights off. These are the cheap metal lockouts with a single screw. This seems like a bad idea to me. I thought about testing one of them by introducing an overload, but this seemed like a bad idea too. Anyone have any thoughts?
