Abstract
An interlock arrangement is configured for controlling a pair of aligned switches connected to two alternate power supplies. An interlock member is positioned between the aligned switches and is moveable between a first interlock position and a second interlock position. The interlock member has first and second blocking components. In the first interlock position, the first switch is ON and the second blocking component prevents movement of the second switch to an ON position, and the interference between the first switch and first blocking component prevents the interlock member from moving to the second interlock position. In the second interlock position, the second switch is ON and the first blocking component prevents movement of the first switch to an ON position, and the interference between the second switch and second blocking component prevents the interlock member from moving to the first interlock position.
