ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a modular disconnect switch (10) for use in an electrical enclosure cabinet (26) having a plurality of different operating mechanisms that can be assembled with the switch. These include, but are not limited to: a dial-type ratcheting rotary switch with a door-sensitive actuating mechanism (40), a dual rotary switch (30) that meets certain standards and provides a butterfly handle inside the cabinet, a lock accessory (60) for enabling the lockout of the switch in the off position, a motion translator device (50) for interfacing to a side-mounted cabinet door handle, a network connectivity module (70), and a module for adding at least one switch pole to the basic disconnect switch (10).
