Abstract
A secondary disconnect assembly for use with a circuit breaker moveable between a connected position and a disconnected position includes a first secondary disconnect apparatus and a second secondary disconnect apparatus. The first secondary disconnect apparatus includes a first coupling portion having at least one high speed communications connector. The second secondary disconnect apparatus includes a second coupling portion removably coupled to the first coupling portion. The second coupling portion includes at least one opening configured to receive the high speed communications connector when the circuit breaker is moved from the disconnected position to the connected position to enable high speed data transmission through the first coupling portion and the second coupling portion.
