Good basic kit for a domestic installer. The red locks with the plastic casing are not that strong and more expensive. Some cheaper locks have only a small number of key variations. What about safe isolation of industrial 110v, 230v, 3 phase, Harting plugs or other variations? Video’s on safe isolation never seem to mention the importance and best practice of “line of sight” ie the isolator should be local to equipment to make it obvious for everyone. There are cases when testing is simply not enough to prove the equipment is safe to work on, particularly in automation. Finding a breaker in a factory is often not straightforward. Also, the safe isolation could be for your own benefit, another trade or even cleaners that are ignorant to the equipments technicalities, making visual indications more important.
Wouldn't want to operate the switch on full load... Why not. it's rated for it. I disagree with this common 'meme' amongst the electrical sector. I think it's crept in from the electricity board's SENSIBLE rule of not pulling a main fuse with load on. You have LITERALLY recently covered 'load break' isolators. It's not WRONG to cut the load in one... just don't use the main fuse to do it Also never never ever would that number be used to produce a duplicate key. HELL NO. NEVER... yeesh
If you're shutting down a full installation my preference would take some time to shut circuits down in a controlled manner - thinking about machinery, IT equipment etc. Yes the switches are designed for a full load. On the lock note it does come with two keys - so already has a duplicate.
