Abstract
An electrical enclosure that includes a dead front and a lockout switch is described herein. The lockout switch detects the position of the dead front. Based on the detected position of the dead front, the lockout switch actuates a power disconnection mechanism. In one embodiment, the disconnection mechanism is a shunt trip breaker that trips at least one circuit breaker when actuated by the lockout switch detecting removal of the dead front. The shunt trip breaker receives power from a main conductor to a coil that moves a solenoid.
