A circuit interrupter includes first, second and third electrical conductors, a planar conductive member having first, second and third contacts, and an operating mechanism structured to move the planar conductive member toward the electrical conductors to electrically connect the first, second and third electrical conductors to the respective first, second and third contacts, and to move the planar conductive member away from the electrical conductors to electrically disconnect the electrical conductors from the contacts upon the occurrence of a predetermined condition, such that the electrical conductors are electrically isolated from each other. When one of the electrical conductors is welded to one of the contacts, the operating mechanism and the planar conductive member cooperate to electrically disconnect the other two of the electrical conductors from the other two of the contacts upon the occurrence of the predetermined condition.
