Due diligence alone would suggest that an “emergency stop” or an on/off switch is a necessity. Common sense would suggest that such a stop button or switch was easily seen and accessed.
Australian standards support common sense (see below).
Powersafe’s powerboards are the only 3-phase boards on the market which come with an emergency stop and an on/off switch fitted as a standard option.
In keeping with Australian standards, Powersafe’s emergency stop can be locked off, but not on, is clearly marked and accessed, not behind a window that makes it hard to locate. It is not behind a window that can be padlocked.
Believe it or not, there are power boards available where the only means of isolating the power is behind a window which can padlocked on!
