An embedded pole is provided which includes a conductive path and a movable contact. The movable contact is selectively movable between a first position in which the conductive path is closed and a second position in which the conductive path is open. An insulation element is coupled to and selectively movable in conjunction with the movable contact. The embedded pole further includes a sensor coupled to the insulation element and operable to detect a displacement of the insulation element that corresponds to a movement of the movable contact between the first position and the second position.

An electrical enclosure for an electrical component includes a housing having a bus bar portion and an electrical component portion arranged to receive the electrical component. At least one shutter is moveably arranged between the bus bar portion and the electrical component portion. A shutter interlock is arranged in the electrical component portion. The shutter interlock is configured and disposed to prevent the at least one shutter from shifting from a closed position to an open position when the electrical component is absent from the electrical component portion of the housing.
