I have an application where there will be three independent 480V AC 3-phase sources coming into the same control enclosure.
The client requires that each of them have an independent disconnect (either fuses or a molded-case circuit breaker).
NFPA79 sections 5.3.1.4, 6.2.3, and 6.2.4 all agree that I need to interlock the door so it can't be opened without the disconnects being turned off. This interlock can be mechanical or electrical.
So the question is: Have any Forum members ever seen or installed a single cable-operated disconnect handle that operated more than one disconnect switch ?
Alternately, has anyone seen an electrical interlock that did not require a handle and traditional three-point door latch ?
