Are there different requirements for different types of interlock switches?
No. The requirements for all types of interlock switches are identical. All interlock switches must remain operable. Experience has shown that the plunger-type interlock switch may stick due to the mine environment and frequently fails in the depressed position. For this reason, MSHA recommends either a magnetic or a whisker-type switch.
