ABSTRACT:
A safety lock-out grounding device renders each of the phase leads of single phased or multi-phased electrical equipment to a grounded, safe condition to facilitate safe servicing or repair. The device has sheathed flexible phase leads and a sheathed ground conductor each being provided with an adjustable toggle actuated clamping device to establish positive clamping with the phase leads of the electrical equipment and positive clamping with a ground buss. Each of the clamping devices has relatively moveable locking components that define lock openings which become aligned when the respective adjustable toggle actuated clamping device is clamped onto a phase lead or ground buss. For positive locking of the clamping devices, to ensure that grounding of the leads of an electrical device is positively maintained during servicing or repair, a locking member of a key or combination actuated lock is inserted through the aligned openings, thus preventing unlocking movement of the clamp actuating components from the locking position thereof until the locking member has been removed from the aligned openings.
