Abstract:
A circuit disrupter having a first conductor and a second conductor partially disposed in an enclosure. A connector is biased to an open position by a spring, but is held in an engaged position by a tab to connect first conductor to second conductor. When an operator removes tab, connector moves to the open position, thereby disconnecting first circuit element from second circuit element. Because the operator does not have access to the interior of enclosure, the first and second circuit elements will remain disconnected until appropriate maintenance activity is undertaken. The absence of tab from the circuit disrupter is a signal that such maintenance activity is required.
