Homeline 2-pole lock-on?

[George Stolz]

I'm needing a breaker lock to hold a breaker on without a padlock for a APS. the best the supply guy can find is a hom1hbd which says it locks the breaker off. Anybody see one of these firsthand to tell me if I can flip it over and use it to lock a breaker on?

A xxxxHBD is for blocking a breaker off.
A HOMxPA is for padlocking a breaker on or off.
A QO1LO can be used to 'clamp' a HOM 1P On or off.

See Digest 175 page 1-14 table 1.42

Sorry, I thought the title would give it away. I need to lock a homeline pair of single pole breakers on that are handletied together.

A standard, run-on-the-mill, plain-jane 2-pole lockout won't work?

 

[George Stolz]

I'm going to leave it on forever - I doubt I could shut the panel door over that Ken.

they do make a lock on but unsure if it fits a 2-pole unsure the part num. that is for like an emergency light circuit

The QO1LO is universal,it either locks " On " or locks " Off"". You would need

two of them. And you can close the door also.

That won't work if the handle tie covers the top of the breaker handles.

 

[George Stolz]

Actually the tie is a little aluminum piece between the interiors of the handles. But you got the idea.

That is why the QO line is superior. Much bigger variety of accessories.

Epoxy the handle in the on position, if breaker ever trips you will need to replace instead of reset
