Our cubicles are delivered fitted, as standard, with their internal functional
locking systems (see appendix 1).
Any manufacturers prefer lock-based internal locking systems.
However, interlocking systems between cubicles or between cubicles and
upstream or downstream equipment are very often ignored and result in
expensive last-minute alterations at the factory or even on site.
These interlocking systems, which often appear unimportant to the layman,
are an essential complement to internal locking systems.
A little advice:
it is better to have no locking system than to have an incomplete locking
system which, sooner or later, might catch out an operator.
combining locking with operating instructions is extremely dangerous;
by force of habit, an operator might overlook an instruction which could
prove fatal.
we must disclaim our responsibility if the customer wished to totally
or partially operate his installation on the basis of operating instructions.
a mistake can lead to a death and legal proceedings against the person
responsible for the failure.

ENVIRONMENT,
COMPLEXITY AND COST
ARE THE SELECTION
CRITERIA
S A L E S
The purpose of all locking systems is to ensure human safety and network
operation.
For the same application, the system will vary according to local pratices.
Some countries require full locking, others only permanent
warning/instructional signs, in which case safety will be ensured by the
personnels competence.
Efficient locking is locking which does not incite operating personnel
to tamper with it .

6 ACTIONS
TO BE PROHIBITED
removing fuses from voltage transformers under load for safety reason;
closing an earthing switch, if the cubicle and cables are live and,
conversely, switching cubicles back on before opening the relevant
earthing switch because it is a direct short-circuit ;
opening doors or panels giving access to cable terminals if the earthing
switch has not been closed and, conversely, opening the earthing switch
before closing relevant access doors and panels for safety of personnel;

INTERLOCKING SYSTEMS
BETWEEN EQUIPMENT
This does not mean supply the locks installed outside our cubicles,
but it does mean indicate in detail on our locking system layouts the types
and combinations which will be supplied by those other than Schneider.
The main interlocking systems are shown in the diagram on the following page.
Ref 1: incomer cubicles
(Transformer or sub-switchboard)
It is essential to lock the downstream isolating device in an open position
in order to allow closing of the earthing switch (internal lock between
the earthing switch and the circuit-breaker of the cubicle) and authorise
access to the transformer (terminals, transformer room door).
Cross-locking in the case of a sub-switchboard feeder.

This additional safety feature allows one to check that there is no voltage

the key TR can be removed when the earthing switch is closed and used
to open the transformer room.
In the above examples, the cubicles not supplied by Schneider must therefore
incorporate their own internal locking systems.

PROHIBITING
THE OPENING OF
ACCESS DOORS
OR PANELS IF
THE EARTHING SWITCH
IS NOT CLOSED
Safety is ensured through the use of a lock or padlock fixed to the earthing
switch in the closed position.
The rear access panel carries a DANGER warning sign.
With functional locking
A lock links the cable compartment closing plate to the earthing switch
closed position.
EXAMPLE 3: MV/LV TRANSFORMER FEEDER WITH WITHDRAWABLE
CIRCUIT-BREAKER
Without functional locking
Closing of the earthing switch unlocks the access panel and removal of the
panel locks the earthing switch in the closed position.
Unlocking and opening of the power transformer compartment door
Lock the earthing switch in the closed position, the key can be removed and
enables the transformer room door to be unlocked.
Under certain circumstances, access to the transformer room door is
authorised using 2 keys (MV + LV).

PERFORMING A LOCKING
DESIGN STUDY (contd)
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Draw the switchboard single line layout and show the closed doors,
as well as the devices withdrawn and open.
In the case of special cubicles, the locking systems will be ensured by locks
or simple mechanisms.
Draw up an inventory of locking conditions to be fulfilled in relation
to the cubicles encountered.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
A locking system must be understandable solely by reading the layout.
Should this prove impossible, pairing of the keys on a welded ring should
be considered.
