Abstract
A lockout for circuit breakers provides a channel holding the circuit breaker toggle bar with a set screw that may be accessed only when an eye of the lockout is free of a padlock shackle. The eye is oriented vertically so that the padlock may be rotated to not interfere with adjacent circuit breakers being locked out or operated.
