Abstract: A switching system includes: a first switching apparatus; a second switching apparatus; a holding assembly between the first switch apparatus and the second switch apparatus, the holding assembly configured to hold one or more fuse devices; and a linking interface connected to the first switching apparatus and the second switching apparatus, the linking interface having only two stable interface positions: a first interface position and a second interface position. Transitioning the linking interface from the first interface position to the second interface position simultaneously changes the state of the first switching apparatus and a state of the second switching apparatus.

Abstract: An interlocking mechanism for a switching device is provided. The interlocking mechanism includes an interlocking arm having a first end and a second end. The interlocking arm is movable between a first position and a second position. When positioned in the first position, the second end of the interlocking arm forms a releasable contact with switching device blocking operation of the switching device. When positioned in the second position, the second end of the interlocking arm withdraws from the releasable contact with the switching device allowing operation of the switching device. The interlocking mechanism further includes an actuator connected to the interlocking arm. The actuator, in response to receiving actuator signal, moves the interlocking arm between the first position and the second position.

Abstract: A safety switch includes a housing including first and second compartments that are separated by a barrier, a switch mechanism in the first compartment, one or more fuse holders in the second compartment, a first door connected to the housing and covering the first compartment, a second door connected to the housing, a handle connected to the switch mechanism, and a locking mechanism operatively connected to the handle. The handle is movable between an off position and an on position. The locking mechanism configured such that: the second door is locked in a closed position when the handle is in the on position; the second door is movable from the closed position to an open position to expose the second compartment when the handle is in the off position; and the handle is locked in the off position when the second door is in the open position.
