Abstract:
A touch-safe fuse module includes a built-in slidable handle movable between extended and retracted positions relating to a housing of the fuse module. In the extended position, the handle assists with removal of the fuse from a base housing assembly by improving mechanical leverage to apply extraction force to the housing. Fuse modules having high current ratings may be effectively removed by hand without separately provided tools.

Abstract:
A high current fusible disconnect switch device includes a switch housing configured to receive a pluggable touch-safe fuse module, and a dual slide bar actuator assembly for opening and closing switch contacts. The dual slide bar elements are each coupled to bias elements that store and release energy to affect switch opening and closing operations. The switch opening and closing operation is multi-staged wherein the only the first slider element is movable in the first stage, and both the first and second slider elements are movable in the second stage.
