Abstract
A system is provided for preventing a push-pull circuit breaker from being inadvertently depressed. The system may include a clip member having a generally C-shaped collar defining a cylindrical recess therein. The clip member is configured to resiliently expand to be positioned over and receive a cylindrical portion of the circuit breaker knob in a manner that prevents the circuit breaker knob from being depressed to close the circuit breaker. The system further includes first and second tabs depending from ends of the clip member. A cable tie may be positioned through openings formed in the first and second tabs to secure the first and second ends to each other, thereby locking the clip member in position on the push-pull circuit breaker knob and preventing the circuit breaker knob from being depressed.
