Abstract
An air break electrical switch includes a first electrical terminal and a second electrical terminal supported apart from the first electrical terminal. The switch further includes a blade support configured to be electrically insulatively supported apart from the second electrical terminal. A blade is pivotally supported by the blade support, and the blade is pivotable from an open contact position to a closed contact position and vice versa. The switch further includes an indicator connected to the blade. At least a portion of the indicator is fixed to the blade so as to rotate with the blade and display a first color when the blade is in the open contact position and obscure the first color when the blade is in the closed contact position.
