battery disconnect rotary isolation switches for power at voltages 
exceeding 1,000 volts; current sensors with fluxgate; hardware kits 
including: nuts, washers, lock washers for relays contactors and rotary 
isolation switches; wire harnesses for relays, contactors and rotary 
isolation switches; mounting brackets for relays, contactors and rotary 
isolation switches; and, custom formed gaskets and grommet seals, for
