Patch Panel in diagram one shown with 6 receptacles 2 to 10 are available.

Patch panels are equipped with mechanical and electrical interlocks.
 

KEY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (KMS)     

The purpose of the Key Management System is to secure and track the interlock keys that are used to access the high voltage compartments in CTE's and the patch panel. When the key is missing from the KMS, powering of the system is not feasible. The key must be in the lock and rotated to 3 o'clock to close the electrical interlocks and is held until rotated back to 12 o'clock to be removed. The system can be designed to track from one to twenty-five keys. We can design larger systems if needed.

The key is held by a CTE or high voltage patch panel when compartments are open and can not be removed until compartments are closed and secure. Only then can the key be removed and placed in the KMS.

Electrical interlock circuit: 1 NO and 1 NC contact.
