This situation arose at work today;
Our Client has installed a Main Switchboard on the wall next to the reception desk in the Probation Office at a corrections facility. The Main Isolator has an external rotary handle and some disgruntled punters have been switching it off and creating havoc in the probation building.
We've given this a nomination for "Most Badly Located Switchboard" award. But our client wants a solution.
I thought that the Isolator could be padlocked on as long as the Fire Service was notified and given a key. I haven't consulted the Regs ( lazy me ). The other option is to build a cabinet around the board and hide it. This isn't palatable for the customer due to the cost.
Anyone else got any ideas ?
In the meantime they've strategically placed a large pot-plant in front of the board. Thats not ideal either !
