Abstract:
A fusible switch disconnect device includes a housing adapted to receive at least one fuse therein, and a switchable contact for connecting the fuse to circuitry. A tripping mechanism and control circuitry are provided to move the switchable contact to an open position in response to a predetermined electrical condition.

Claim (Index 65):
A fusible switch disconnect device comprising:\n a disconnect housing adapted to receive and engage at least a portion of a removable electrical fuse, wherein the electrical fuse comprises a rectangular fuse module having plug-in terminal blades and a fusible element electrically connected therebetween, the fusible element defining a first circuit path and being configured to permanently open the first circuit path in response to predetermined electrical current conditions experienced in the circuit path; a second circuit path defined in the disconnect housing, the second circuit path including line side and load side terminals electrically connecting to the respective first and second terminal blades of the fuse and to the first circuit path when the removable electrical fuse is received and engaged to the disconnect housing; wherein the second circuit path further includes a mechanical switch comprising:\n a switch actuator accessible through the disconnect housing for manual operation by a user, the switch actuator movable relative to the disconnect housing between first and second positions; \n a pair of switchable contacts in the disconnect housing and linked to the switch actuator, the pair of switchable contacts provided between the line side terminal and one of the first and second terminal blades of the fuse, the pair of switchable contacts being linked to one another and being simultaneously positionable along a first linear axis as the switch actuator is being moved between the first and second position between an open position and a closed position to respectively connect or disconnect an electrical connection between the line side terminal and the first circuit path of the fusible element while the removable electrical fuse is received and engaged to the disconnect housing; \n a trip mechanism including an electromagnetic coil and a pivotally mounted actuator arm each being inside the disconnect housing, the electromagnetic coil operable along a second linear axis, which is an axis of the coil and which extends perpendicular to the first linear axis, to automatically cause the pivotally mounted actuator arm to pivot and move the pair of switchable contacts from the closed position to the open position in response to a predetermined electrical condition when the removable fuse is inserted and when the line side terminal is connected to energized line circuitry; and an interlock element linked to the pivotally mounted actuator arm, the interlock element engaging a first one of the terminal blades when the pair of switchable contacts is in the closed position and releasing from the first one of the terminal blades when the pair of switchable contacts is in the open position.
