ABSTRACT:
A disconnect box is provided in the present invention that has a rear wall and perimetrically bounding side walls connected thereto. A line wire and a load wire are received in the disconnect box, which comprises a line terminal mounted in the disconnect box and to which the line wire is connected, a load terminal mounted in the disconnect box and to which the load wire is connected, and a fuse releasably secured in the disconnect box. The fuse has an operational position wherein the fuse contacts the line terminal and the load terminal thereby creating mechanical and electrical connection between the line wire and first load wire, and a non-operational position such that when the fuse is disconnected from the line terminal and the load terminal the mechanical and electrical connection between the line wire and the load wire is broken.
