Nvent AEK230 Door Handle Interlock

Product Description

The NVENT AEK230 is a door handle interlock designed for electrical enclosures and panel applications. This mechanical interlock prevents a panel door from being opened while the internal disconnect or breaker is in the energized position, providing a critical layer of safety for service personnel. The AEK230 is installed by licensed electricians working on industrial control panels, switchgear, or similar enclosed electrical equipment where lockout/tagout and safety interlock requirements apply.

The AEK230 is suited for use in commercial and industrial electrical installations where enclosure door interlocks are required by code or facility safety standards. It is typically installed on the door handle assembly of an electrical enclosure to mechanically link door access to the de-energized state of the internal disconnect. Installers should verify enclosure compatibility and door handle fitment before installation.

Key Features

• Mechanical interlock prevents enclosure door from opening while internal equipment is energized

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements and applicable facility safety standards. De-energize and lockout/tagout all internal circuits before opening the enclosure or working on the interlock mechanism. Verify that the interlock engages and releases correctly through the full range of handle motion before returning the panel to service. Do not bypass or defeat the interlock under any circumstances.
