  • Patent number: 4546341
    Abstract: An electrical cutout is disclosed for electrical connection between a line terminal and a load terminal. The cutout includes an insulator having a first and a second end. A first electrical conductor is rigidly secured to the first end of the insulator, the first conductor being electrically connected to the line terminal. A second electrical conductor is rigidly secured to the second end of the insulator, the second conductor being electrically connected to the load terminal. A fuse tube extends between the first and the second conductors and a fuse link extends through the fuse tube and includes a first and a second end. The second end or pigtail of the fuse link is electrically connected to the second electrical conductor. A cap is disposed adjacent the first end of the fuse link, the cap being electrically connected to the first end of the fuse link such that the cap frictionally cooperates with the first conductor.
