Main Switch Lock Out Device

[ukants]

Evening folks,

What's the best lock-out device for a Wylex DP Main Switch? I've been looking on here for one:
http://www.reecesafety.co.uk/Circuit breaker lockouts.htm
and here
http://www.thefusecompany.co.uk/

I use one of the 'Toggle Locks' for mcbs but it isn't great on the main switches. And where's the best place to get one asap?
Cheers

I was lucky enough to get one at one of my regular wholesalers. Considering they are supposed to be essentials under part p and GS38 etc you usually get 'no call for them mate!'

Wylex make the perfect item cat no. mcbldx - it's like a claw which you screw onto the switch so it can't be closed then you can fit a small padlock if req'd. Look on Electrium website.

Thanks Itheb,

Yes I have something similar but I find there is still some movement on the main switch (ok on the mcb though) and was wondering if I needed a pin-out style one.

I just remembered seeing a whole range on SETON catalogue (the H&S people) I meant to look there again myself so thanks for the nudge. I also got a freebee from Schneider/Merlin Guerin before Christmas so have a look there maybe.
