| Post subject: | Your Policy - Operating disconnect under load to save life? |
A great ongoing discussion regarding operating non-load break disconnect switches UNDER LOAD including if it is necessary to save a life. It was suggested to ask the following question below as a "Question of the Week" The full thread can be found here. VIEW Disconnect Conversation Here Feel free to jump into the conversation. NOTE: Legal stuff. Do not take the results of this survey as a recommendation regarding operating disconnects. Here is this week’s question: What is your company/client’s policy for operating non load break disconnect switches under load? -NEVER operate a non load break disconnect under load even to save a life. -Advise employees that it is their personal choice to risk operating a non load break disconnect under load in order to save a life. -Operate a non load break disconnect if that is the quickest means to save a life. -Your plant has E-Stops within easy reach of every disconnect so this question is irrelevant. -Your employees never violate safety policy and never make mistakes in lockout procedures. -Something else - curious what that would be. |

Not really sure why this would be an issue with load break switches. |
