Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1748454A2] A device for locking an item of switchgear, particularly for grounding disconnectors of electrical lines, with high safety against unauthorized actuations, comprising an abutment element (2), which is connected to the item of switchgear (3) to be locked and can move along a path in order to pass from at least one first position to at least one second position, these positions being mutually spaced along the path, or vice versa. The device comprises first locking means (4), which can engage the abutment element (2) in order to lock it in the two mentioned positions, and control means (5) for disengaging the first locking means (4) from the abutment element (2). The first locking means (4) comprise a calibrated-shear element (6) adapted to allow, following its breakage, the passage of the abutment element (2) from the first position to the second position without acting on the control means (5). The device comprises second locking means (7), which can engage the abutment element (2) in order to lock it in the second position despite the breakage of the calibrated-shear element (6).
