Claim:
A fusible switch disconnect module comprising: a disconnect housing adapted to receive a fuse therein; a fuse being removably insertable in the disconnect housing; line side and load side terminals communicating with the fuse when the fuse is inserted into the disconnect housing; at least one stationary contact and at least one movable contact being selectively positionable along a linear axis with respect to the at least one stationary contact between an open position and a closed position to connect or disconnect an electrical connection through the fuse; an actuator causing the at least one movable contact to be positioned between the open position and the closed position; a cover coupled to the disconnect housing, the cover concealing the fuse when in a closed position, the cover exposing the fuse when in an open position, and an interlock arm positioned between the actuator and the cover, the interlock arm engaging the cover to a locked position when the at least one movable contact is in the closed position, the interlock arm disengaging the cover to an unlocked position when the at least one movable contact is in the open position, wherein the locked position prevents the cover moving from the closed position to the open position.
