Panduit PSL-CL480 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Panduit PSL-CL480 is a robust cord lockout device engineered to secure electrical disconnects on 240-480V AC power cords. This unit is critical for ensuring electrical safety during maintenance or repair operations, preventing accidental power restoration. Its design targets industrial environments where reliable lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures are paramount for worker safety. The PSL-CL480 model specifically addresses higher voltage AC power sources commonly found in heavy machinery and industrial equipment.

Compatibility

This lockout device is designed for use with standard 240-480V AC power cords. It is compatible with a wide range of industrial equipment and machinery that utilize these voltage specifications. The device is intended for direct application onto the power cord connector itself, providing a physical barrier to prevent engagement. It is not specific to any particular brand of equipment, focusing instead on the power cord's physical characteristics.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond a standard screwdriver for tightening the locking mechanism. The device is designed to be applied directly to the power cord plug. Ensure the power source is de-energized before applying the lockout. The integrated locking mechanism accepts most standard safety padlocks, with shackle diameters up to 3/8 inch (9.5mm). For optimal security, use padlocks with appropriate shackle length to prevent the cord from being fully inserted into a receptacle.
