Abstract
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.
