Abstract
A test switch apparatus for an electrical device includes identical modules each carrying at least one switch thereon and terminals coupled to the switch and receiving electrical conductors. Complimentary interconnecting members are formed on each base and opposed barrier walls of each module for releasably interconnecting two modules in a side-by-side arrangement. Lock elements are optionally formed on each module for locking two adjacent switch modules together, preferably after the two modules are substantially joined by the interconnected members. End pieces are interconnected by interconnecting members to endmost modules. A cover is releaseably attachable to the end pieces.
