An electrical switchgear apparatus for use in selectively connecting a primary power line with a tap power line includes a housing in which a switch assembly is disposed. The housing includes a source side wall and a tap side wall generally opposed to the source side wall, and conductors extend through each of the source and tap side walls. A live front terminator is electrically connected with the source side conductor and is adapted to be connected with the primary power line, while a dead front terminator electrically connects with the second insulated conductor and is adapted to be connected with the tap power line. A dead front enclosure surrounds the insulated conductors, the live front terminator, and the dead front terminator. Observation windows in the source side wall and in the dead front enclosure permit visual inspection of the switch assembly from outside of enclosure.
