    1. The FS and Q interlocks are mechanical locks used to control electrical switchgear through connecting to isolation equipment and operating isolators through a 9.5mm spigot when a key is inserted and turned. 2. They operate HV/LV circuits by trapping the key when the circuit is closed and allowing the key to be turned and released when opening the circuit. 3. They are available in brass or stainless steel and are used as part of safety systems to control switchgear operation through key transfer between isolators.

    FS/Q

    Switchgear Interlock

    User Manual - Original Language Version

    F1S-ACW-65-9.5-22

    The FS and Q Interlocks are designed for use as a mechanical interlock for electrical switchgear. This is done through a mechanical connection to the isolation equipment. The standard unit is fitted with a 9.5mm square x 22mm spigot that can be used to operate an isolator. Inserting and turning the key moves the spigot through a predetermined angular position (45/65/90 clock or anti clock wise) moving the isolator to closed. Rotating the key in the opposite direction will open the isolator and will release the key. The free key can then be transferred to operate a parallel supply stream or an access interlock. The FS and Q locks are manufactured in brass or stainless steel making it ideal for harsh or corrosive environments.

    Operation
