Eaton Padlock Breaker Handle Lockoff for BW/CSR Circuit Breakers
The Eaton Padlock Breaker Handle Lockoff secures a circuit breaker handle in the on or off position using a standard padlock, giving electricians and facility teams a reliable, code-conscious lockout point for BW and CSR circuit breakers. The device is semi-permanently mounted to the face of the breaker and held securely in place by the loadcenter deadfront, preventing unauthorized removal once the panel is closed up. It requires one additional pole space in the panelboard and is compact in size at 5 in wide, 7 in long/deep, and .75 in high. As a dedicated lock/lock dog/lockoff mechanism, it is purpose-built to support dependable lockout/tagout compliance in occupied commercial and industrial facilities.
Key Features
- Padlock Security: Uses a standard padlock to lock the circuit breaker handle in the on or off position, supporting formal lockout/tagout procedures and restricting unauthorized breaker operation.
- Breaker Compatibility: Designed specifically for use with Eaton BW and CSR circuit breakers, ensuring a proper fit on the breaker handle.
- Semi-Permanent Mounting: Mounts directly to the face of the circuit breaker and is secured in place by the loadcenter deadfront for a stable, tamper-resistant fit once the panel cover is installed.
- Pole Space Requirement: Requires one additional pole space within the panelboard for installation, a factor to plan for when laying out breaker positions.
- Compact Dimensions: Measures 5 in wide x 7 in long/deep x .75 in high, sized to fit within standard panelboard footprints without crowding adjacent breakers.
- Device Type: Functions as a lock/lock dog/lockoff mechanism dedicated to breaker handle security rather than general conduit or wiring hardware.
- Deadfront Integration: Works in conjunction with the loadcenter deadfront so the lockoff stays properly secured whenever the panel is buttoned up.

Eaton MCBPL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Eaton MCBPL handle lockoff fit my circuit breakers?
The MCBPL lockoff is made for Eaton BW and CSR circuit breakers, and it mounts to the face of the breaker handle. If your panel is populated with a different Eaton breaker family or another manufacturer's breakers, this is not the right lockoff.
2) Can the Eaton MCBPL lock a breaker in the ON position, or only OFF?
Both. The MCBPL uses a standard padlock to hold the breaker handle in either the on or the off position, so it works for lockout/tagout on a de-energized circuit and for preventing someone from switching off a circuit that has to stay live, like a fire pump or refrigeration feed.
3) Is a padlock included with the Eaton breaker handle lockoff?
No padlock comes with it. The MCBPL is the lockoff bracket only and accepts a standard padlock, which you supply. Facilities running a formal LOTO program usually key these to their own lock program anyway.
4) How is the Eaton MCBPL held in place, and can someone pull it off the breaker?
It mounts semi-permanently to the breaker face and is then captured by the loadcenter deadfront. Once the deadfront is back on and the panel is closed up, the lockoff cannot be lifted off the breaker, which is what makes it tamper-resistant rather than a clip-on device.
5) Can the Eaton MCBPL be used to lock out a main breaker?
Yes, restricting access to main breaker controls is one of its listed uses, provided the main is a BW or CSR breaker. It is a common fit for commercial and industrial panelboard safety programs and facility maintenance LOTO procedures.
6) What size is the Eaton MCBPL lockoff and will it crowd the breakers next to it?
It measures 5 in wide by 7 in long/deep by .75 in high. The .75 in height is what matters inside the panel, since that is the profile sitting over the breaker face under the deadfront.
7) What part number do I order for the Eaton BW/CSR padlockable breaker handle lockoff?
Order Eaton MCBPL. It ships as a single model with no finish or size options to specify.
