What it represents

A lockable disconnector has a mechanism that can retain the isolation position under a specified locking arrangement. The representation needs the operating position and lock reference in addition to the main contact.

How to read it

  • A drawn padlock marker does not define the full isolation procedure.
  • The preview is an original explanation of this function. Match the actual drawing convention to its legend and the selected equipment documentation.

Information to show or reference

  • Show lockable position
  • Identify lock mechanism
  • Cross-reference interlock schedule

A distinction that matters

Lockability describes the mechanism; load-breaking capability describes electrical duty.
