A fuse holder for holding a fuse, comprising:

• a body;
• a line side connector supported by said body;
• a load side connector supported by said body;
• a toggle switch supported by said body, said switch being capable of toggled engagement in a first position providing electrical connection between said line side connector and said load side connector and said switch being capable of toggled engagement in a second position providing electrical isolation between said line side connector and said load side connector;
• a fuse carrier, said fuse carrier supported by said body, said fuse carrier adapted for holding the fuse and said fuse carrier adapted to be removed from said fuse holder;
• and a blocking device for blocking the toggled engagement of said switch into the first position when the fuse carrier is not located within the fuse holder, said blocking device positionable between said toggle switch and said fuse carrier;
• wherein said blocking device comprises a cam pivotably supported by said body about a second axis spaced from a first axis, said cam connected to said switch and engageable with said fuse carrier to block the advancement of the fuse carrier into the body;
• wherein said cam defines one of a pocket and a protuberance, and wherein said fuse carrier defines the other of the pocket and the protuberance, the protuberance engaging the pocket to rotate said cam as said fuse carrier is separated from the body in a direction along the longitudinal axis of said fuse carrier.
