Advantages of using the Stainless Steel Panel Lockout during Construction
During construction wires are pulled, but not terminated, into a live panel. These terminations are not made until the field side of the wire can be completed. This leaves the wire exposed to vandals. With the Panel Lockout, all wires can be terminated into the live panel and then the panel can be locked with circuit breakers off. This protects the wire and the work that would be needed to replace it if it was vandalized. Locking out the terminated panel prevents an incomplete wire from becoming live in the field. Also, if one or more circuits are complete, they can be energized while keeping all the other incomplete circuits locked off.
Another advantage to completing the terminations in the electrical panel is that deadlines can be more easily met. The electric closets often become a bottleneck in the last days of a project when all the terminations need to be completed. Finally, there is no searching for trims and panel covers for the electrical panels because the panels are already completed.
