Here is what I have a drive feeding a 30 HP motor with a Killark plug & Socket as local disconnect. The Killark socket is a interlocked disconnect with an auxiliary early break contact that is part of the safety circuit to disable the drive. As soon as I move the disconnect the safe torque option engages (shuts off the IGBT's) and as I continue to open the disconnect breaks the connection to the plug & socket. At this point do I need any PPE other than work gloves to pull the plug out of the socket?
