The present invention relates to an automatic control padlock apparatus which enables automatic control of a padlock connected to a power breaker installed in a switchboard of semiconductor or LCD equipment. In the present invention, a pair of cylinders, which can supply and block electric power to and from a load terminal, are directly installed on the upper surface of the power breaker installed in the switchboard, so that a switch of the power breaker is turned on/off by selectively operating the pair of cylinders according to an external control signal. As a result, it is unnecessary to separately install a padlock for switching on/off the power breaker. Thus, the present invention can resolve the inconvenience and complexity of a configuration, which may result from the installation of an additional padlock separately from the power breaker, and can simplify the configuration of the power breaker and the padlock due to the padlock installed in the power breaker, thereby greatly improving the space utilization of the switchboard. |
