ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a fuse holder as part of an integrated switch base assembly for attachment to a fusible switch having one or more phases between the line and load side of a circuit. The fusible switch has a switch base assembly for opening and closing a switch contact. The switch base assembly has a mounting surface. The fuse holder includes a generally planar base made of electrically-insulating material. The base has a top and bottom face. The top face has a plurality of upstanding walls integrally formed therewith which define a compartment corresponding to each phase. The bottom face has a contoured surface adapted to abut the mounting surface of the switch base assembly. A first and second fuse clip correspond to each phase and are secured on opposite ends of the top face within the compartment. A terminal connects to the load side of the circuit and electrically and mechanically connects to the first fuse clip. The fuse holder includes an elongated connector having two ends. One end of the connector electrically and mechanically connects to the second fuse clip. The opposite end of the connector is adapted to electrically connect to the switch contact and the line side of the circuit. The fuse holder secures the base to the mounting surface of the switch base assembly.
