(in a Patent) LOCKOUT TAGOUT SYSTEM AND METHOD
An automation system (10) comprising:
a manually operated disconnect (12);
and a system comprising:
a sensor (30) configured to automatically detect via wireless communication a lock (26) affixed to the manually operated disconnect (12) that locks the disconnect in an open state;
processing circuitry (34) coupled to the sensor (30) and configured to determine lockout data including at least a user associated with the lock (26), a time of application of the lock, and data identifying or locating the manually operated disconnect (12) or a machine (14) to which the disconnect provides power when in a closed state; and
FIG 1 illustrates an automation system 10 utilizing an electrical disconnect 12 to isolate a machine/process 14 from a power source 16, Upstream circuitry 18 may also be utilized between the power source 16 and the machine/process 14, Such upstream circuitry 18 may include, for example, circuit protective devices, fuses, circuit breakers, sensors, and so forth. Conductors 20 consisting of single or three phase power transmit electrical power to the machine/process 14. Contacts 22 within the disconnect 12 connect or disconnect the current carrying conductors 20 from the machine/process 14,
It is the object of the present invention to provide an improved system and method for utilizing a disconnect to isolate a machine from a power source.

sectionneur manuel
Many different terms might be used for 'disconnect', but I think that here, and in this specific context, the emphasis is on the notion of its function — 'what it does' — in which case, I believe this would be the most suitable term here.
Also 'sectionneur à manœuvre manuelle'.
Also 'sectionneur à manœuvre manuelle'.
