Embodiments of this present disclosure may include a handle disposed on an outer surface of a housing of electrical circuitry. The handle may provide access to at least a portion of the electrical circuitry. The handle may include a status indicator that emits light in response to a control signal from control circuitry. The status indicator may be disposed around the handle. The control circuitry may detect a state of the electrical protection circuitry. The control circuitry may also transmit the control signal to the status indicator based on the state. The control signal may control one or more properties of the light emitted by the status indicator, and thus indicate to an operator the state of the electrical circuitry.

Electrical status indication system

A method for generating assembly instructions may include receiving inputs from a user, such that the inputs may include an indication of components of a product package. The method may also include retrieving assembly attribute data for each component from a first storage component, such that the assembly attribute data includes information regarding compatibility properties between two or more of the plurality of components. The method may then involve retrieving model data for each component from a second storage component, such that the model data is representative of physical properties of a respective component. The method may also include generating the assembly instructions for assembling the components together based on the attribute data and the model data, such that the assembly instructions include visualizations representative of at least a portion of a process for assembling the plurality of components together. The assembly instructions are then presented via an electronic display.

System and method for providing access to electrical circuitry based on operational status

The invention relates to a modular disconnect switch () for use in an electrical enclosure cabinet () 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 (), a dual rotary switch () that meets certain standards and provides a butterfly handle inside the cabinet, a lock accessory () for enabling the lockout of the switch in the off position, a motion translator device () for interfacing to a side-mounted cabinet door handle, a network connectivity module (), and a module for adding at least one switch pole to the basic disconnect switch ().

Modular disconnect switch

A rotary switch assembly for mounting on a disconnect switch () in an electrical enclosure () includes a base () and a rotor () which is rotatably coupled to the base (). The rotor () is first axially depressed and then rotated to switch the disconnect switch () to the 'on' position. The base () has a stop member () for latching the rotor () in an 'off' position before the rotor () is axially depressed. A lockout tab () is attached to the rotor () for locking the switch in the &#x201c;off&#x201d; position. A rotary handle () is provided for mounting on the rotor (), for operation in either rotational direction. The rotary handle () has two wings with formed grips () for thumb and fingertips to securely grip and turn the handle () with the required torque for actuating and de-actuating the disconnect switch.
