An embodiment of an arc flash reduction maintenance system includes a pyrotechnic disconnect module and an overcurrent protection device connected to the pyrotechnic disconnect module. A control line is connected to the at least one pyrotechnic disconnect module and in parallel with one of the pyrotechnic disconnect module and the overcurrent protection device. The control line provides a self-generating control signal to cause the pyrotechnic disconnect module to electrically isolate the overcurrent protection device. A switch is located in the control line to selectively enable or disable at least one arc flash reduction maintenance system mode in the control line.
