1. A fuse status indicator module for a fusible switch disconnect device including at least one switch contact operable to connect or disconnect an electrical connection through at least one fuse received in the fusible switch disconnect device, the fuse status indicator module comprising:
an indicator module housing configured for ganged connection in a side-by-side relation with the fusible switch disconnect device; a switch actuator extending from the indicator module housing; at least one open fuse detecting circuit contained within the indicator module housing; at least one pair of wire leads attachable to the disconnect device to establish an electrical connection between the at least one fuse in the disconnect device and the at least one open fuse detecting circuit; at least one fuse state indicator in communication with the at least one open fuse detecting circuit, the at least one fuse state indicator configured to communicate one of a power on condition of the fusible switch disconnect device, a power off condition of the fusible switch disconnect device, or an open fuse condition of the fusible switch disconnect device; and a bypass switch tied to the switch actuator and causing the at least one fuse state indicator to be reset when the at least one switch contact in the fusible switch disconnect device is moved to disconnect the electrical connection through the at least one fuse.
