  • Circuit interrupters with electronically controlled lock out tag out systems and related electrical distribution systems and methods
    Patent number: 11715936
    Abstract: Circuit breakers with a housing with a line side and a load side and an electronically controlled lock-out lock member coupled to the housing configured to electronically controllably travel between a first position and a second position. In the second position, the lock member is in a lock-out position and prevents the handle from moving to an ON position associated with electrical current conduction and in the first position the lock member is translated to a position that allows the handle to move to the ON position.
    Type: Grant
