Abstract:
1. A remote disconnect switch assembly comprised of: an actuator; a shuttle that is operably moved by the actuator; one or more disconnect switches that are opened or closed by movement of the shuttle; one or more sensors; a communication interface; a processor, wherein the processor is operably connected with the actuator, the one or more sensors and the communication interface, and wherein the processor is configured to: a memory operably connected with the processor, wherein information about the remote disconnect switch assembly is stored on the memory, wherein the processor configured to receive signals from the one or more sensors and cause the actuator to operate in accordance with the signals received from the one or more sensors comprises the processor receiving information about an actual state of at least one of the one or more disconnect switches from the one or more sensors, comparing the actual state to a desired state of the at least one of the one or more disconnect switches, wherein the desired state is stored in the memory, and causing the at least one of the one or more disconnect switches to open or close in accordance with the desired state if the actual state of the at least one of the one or more disconnect switches is different than the desired state.
