Abstract
An electrical disconnect switch including an over-rotation protective feature to protect the load switch from damage is disclosed. The electrical disconnect switch may include an enclosure, a load switch, and a handle assembly coupled to the load switch. The disconnect switch may include a detent between the handle assembly and the load switch so that during excessive rotation or torqueing the handle assembly is permitted to decouple or break-away from the load switch to prevent excessive stress from being transferred to the load switch and thus prevent any damage to the load switch.
