ABSTRACT:
An improved fuse block-out device is disclosed that includes a fuse block-out device that includes a first portion shaped to be received by a fuse block and a second portion shaped to securely engage a fuse. When a fuse is removed from the fuse block, the first portion of the fuse block-out device is inserted into the fuse block, and the removed fuse is inserted into the second portion of the fuse block-out device. In this way, the fuse block-out device reduces accidental electrical shock and prevents accidental replacement of the removed fuse. Because the removed fuse is securely engaged, the fuse block-out device controls the location of the removed fuse.
