Abstract

A Z-shaped bracket (42) is secured to a circuit breaker panel (2) by a fastener (44) to project forwardly along a plug-in main circuit breaker (30) and overlie the forward surface of the main breaker to prevent removal of the main breaker (30) without first removing the bracket (42). The bracket and its function are made plainly evident by placement and indicia.
