But either way I...

I have a 50 HP Quincy rotary screw air compressor. It was running fine and I shut it down to change filters yesterday.
After locking out the disconnect switch, A Square D, 100 amp fused switch, I found the machine was still powered. I went to the 80 amp breaker, 25 feet away, and locked out...
