Abstract
A fusible disconnect switch device is provided. The disconnect switch a switch actuator, an actuator bias element, and a slider assembly. The switch actuator is selectively positionable between an opened position and a closed position. The actuator bias element includes a first end acting on the switch actuator and a second end coupled to the switch housing. The slider assembly is linked to the switch actuator. The slider assembly includes a first slider and a second slider each slidably movable with respect to the switch housing along a linear axis. The first slider is independently movable relative to the second slider. The actuator bias element and the slider assembly are responsive to the position of the switch actuator to effect the switch closing operation and a switch opening operation.
