Switchrack: What Specifiers Need to Know
Designing industrial facilities is rarely a paint-by-numbers effort
because each plant faces unique considerations, based on what it’s
producing and the resulting safety and power requirements. That means
power distribution equipment also needs to be custom designed.

Less Work to Meet Safety Requirements
Some facilities are changing their requirements for motor and appliance
installations. This could be due to OSHA Lock-out and Tag-out
requirements or NFPA 70E. The change is toward using pin and sleeve
devices instead of having a hard-wired installation.
Safety requirements often have the maintenance person checking for the
absence of voltage before touching. The rules are quite specific and are
enforced by OSHA.
