Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes, by a switch device, determining a position of an on/off input selector, the on/off input selector being located within a switch device, in response to determining the position of the on/off input selector is in an off position, operating one or more solid state switches to suspend current to one or more load-side terminals, determining whether the one or more load-side terminals of the switch device are electrically isolated, in response to determining the one or more load-side terminals of the switch device are electrically isolated, generating a prompt via a graphical user interface, and receiving, via the graphical user interface, one or more inputs, the one or more inputs including at least a request for safety lockout instructions.
