ABSTRACT:
A circuit breaker switch apparatus pluggable into a watthour meter socket includes at least one set of line and load contact terminals and a power disconnect for completing an electrical circuit between at least one line terminal and one load terminal. The power disconnect switch is responsive to a trigger signal to switch switchable contacts to an open position and maintains the switchable contacts in the open position as long as the trigger signal is present. The power disconnect switch is mountable in the socket adapter housing by a snap-in connection. Load jaw contacts are mounted on rigid bus bars which are connectable to the power disconnect switch by a snap-in connection. An insulating shield surrounds the line and load jaw contacts and conductors while providing apertures to allow the insertion of watthour meter blade terminals therethrough into contact with the jaw contacts.
