Lock with padlock in "off" position of the DPX3 rotary drive 421049

DPX3 rotary drive padlock – safety and access control

The DPX3 rotary drive padlock is a simple yet effective solution providing additional protection against unauthorized switching on or off of the circuit breaker. The product is designed for use with DPX3 series rotary drives, offering the ability to lock the mechanism in the "off" position. This is an ideal solution in places where certainty is required that the device remains off, e.g. during maintenance or service work.

This lock is particularly useful in industrial applications where access to circuit breakers should be restricted to authorized personnel. Using a padlock prevents accidental or intentional starting of the device, minimizing the risk of failure or accidents. The lock is easy and intuitive to install, and its solid construction guarantees long-lasting and reliable operation.

Functionality and application

The padlock allows for physical securing of the rotary drive in the off position. This means that even after turning the drive knob, the device will remain locked until the padlock is removed. This is important in situations where:

• Maintenance or repair work is performed on the electrical installation – the lock prevents accidental power-on during work.
• Protection against unauthorized access is required – the lock limits the possibility of manipulation of the device by unauthorized persons.
• Ensuring process continuity is necessary – the lock guarantees that the device remains off until certain activities are completed.
• You need an additional layer of security - in addition to the standard circuit breaker protections.

According to the technical parameters, the product does not have a three-point rotary lock or a special type of lock other than the standard padlock mechanism. It has a handle and is designed to work with a padlock (not included). The type of handle is also not specified in the technical data. This lock is compatible with DPX3 rotary drives and is an element increasing the safety of using these devices.
