@kevswims@hachyderm.io Yep, I'm aware of loadbusters (and am subscribed to his channel). The load-break cutouts are designed to be operated with a standard hot stick and include the load break internally so you don't need any other tools. I see them used a lot around here on new construction any time there's a sideline feeding more than a handful of customers.

    @kevswims@hachyderm.io Actually looking closer, the right side cutout is actually a "link break" cutout. If you grab the edge of the fuse door with a stick and pull down it'll physically snap the fuse and cause it to blow, creating a load break, but at the cost of requiring a fuse replacement before you close it back in. I missed that when taking the original pic.
