Redsy:
Are we splitting hairs???
The "gray box" with the handle, and "on/off" and capable of being locked in either position can be a "disconnect" or a "safety switch". A piece of equipment requires a disconnect switch within sight, the words are not "safety switch".
Either one can be fused or non-fused unless it it used for OCP, correct?
Now, here's a wrinkle.. the "pull out" devices that are commonly used at resi HVAC compressors, what should they be called??
Some of them can be locked (cover) after you "pull" the mechanism, and that satisfies the "lockable" requirement.
I'm not being a smart axx, but I don't see what the doifference can be.
Alas, we are all here to learn, and share info, and lord knows, I have a lot to learn
