Square D S33996 Circuit Breaker Padlock Device

Product Description

The SQUARE D S33996 is a padlock device accessory designed to secure a circuit breaker in the open or locked-off position. It attaches to compatible PowerPact circuit breakers and provides a physical lockout point that accepts a standard padlock, supporting lockout/tagout (LOTO) safety procedures. Electricians and maintenance technicians install this device when working on electrical panels or downstream equipment to prevent accidental re-energization. It is a compact, single-unit accessory weighing 0.31 pounds and ships as a quantity of one.

This padlock device is suited for commercial and industrial electrical applications where LOTO compliance is required. It is typically installed on PowerPact circuit breakers in panelboards and distribution boards during equipment servicing, maintenance shutdowns, or scheduled outages. The device gives service personnel a secure attachment point for one or more padlocks, visually and physically indicating that the breaker must remain open during the work period.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician following NFPA 70E and NEC guidelines. De-energize and verify the absence of voltage on the circuit before attaching or removing the padlock device. The padlock device itself does not substitute for a full LOTO program — follow the facility's established energy control procedures. No special tools are typically required for attachment; consult the PowerPact product documentation for specific mounting instructions.
