Is it possible to defeat a circuit breaker?
During commissioining of new equipment we found several circuit breakers in a lighting panel with plastic lockouts installed. Some of these had a zip tie through the locking hole with the breaker in the ON position. This was effectively locking the ON position.
Is it possible to prevent a breaker from tripping by holding the switch in the ON position?
Note: this condition is abnormal and violates our internal safety practices. We use a safety lock to lock circuits OFF.
