FUSIBLE SWITCHING DISCONNECT MODULES AND DEVICES WITH IN-LINE CURRENT DETECTION

摘要

A fusible switch disconnect device includes a housing adapted to receive a fuse therein, and switchable contacts for connecting the fuse to circuitry. Line side and load side terminals in the housing electrically connect to the fuse when the fuse is received and engaged with the housing. A current detecting element is configured to detect current flow through the switchable contacts when the switchable contacts are in a closed position. A disconnect mechanism is operable in a first mode and a second mode to displace the switchable contacts. The first mode is manually operated and the second mode is responsive to an actual electrical circuit condition when the line side terminal is connected to energized line circuitry.
