  • What does lock mean on a small busbar in electrical engineering

    What does lock mean on a small busbar in electrical engineering

    A locking feature is provided on the pins for protection against acciden-tal unlatching of the cable. Although connection of the cable is easily performed by hand, disconnection requires a simple tool to provide the leverage needed to overcome the locking feature. The RAPID LOCK connector is a single-pole, quick connect/disconnect replacement for lug connections, used in bus bar and backplane power distribution applications. Additionally my team would prefer to avoid a bolt and tools, because the bus bar is sitting above. Lock-Out / Tag-Out (LOTO) refers to the specific practices and guidelines to safeguard employees from the unexpected start-up, movement, activation, energizing, release of energy, etc of machinery, equipment, plant, systems during service, maintenance or inspection activities.
