摘要

A fused disconnect switch assembly includes a pull out fuse assembly and a switch housing assembly. The fuse assembly includes a line side conducting portion, a load side conducting portion, and a fuse element therebetween. Th e switch housing assembly includes a fuse receptacle for receiving the fuse, a first contact assembly coupled to the line side conducting portion of the fuse and a secon d contact assembly coupled to the load side conducting portion of the fuse when the fu se is inserted into the receptacle. An open fuse indication device is in communication with conducting portions of the fuse, and an alarm terminal output extends from t he switch assembly housing and is in communication with the open fuse indication devic e. The open fuse indication device provides local fuse state indication and the ala rm terminal output facilitates remote fuse state indication when coupled to external circuitry.
