Systems and methods for a disconnect switch assembly having a reversible fuse support block

A method of installing a fuse support block for a switch disconnect assembly, comprising:

• coupling a terminal to a molding, wherein the molding is configured to be installed within a housing of the switch disconnect assembly in a first position and a second position, and wherein the terminal comprises a plurality of apertures disposed in a pattern;
• coupling a first fuse interface to the terminal, wherein the first fuse interface comprises a chuck and a v-block having a channel configured to receive the chuck, wherein the chuck and the v-block are configured to capture a first end of a fuse, wherein the first fuse interface is configured to couple to the terminal in a first arrangement and a second arrangement such that when the first fuse interface is installed in the first arrangement and the molding is installed in the first position, the first fuse interface is disposed in substantially the same position relative to a second fuse interface on a fuse block of the switch disconnect assembly positioned within the housing, opposite the fuse support block, as when the first fuse interface is installed in the second arrangement and the molding is installed in the second position;
• and
• installing the molding in the housing.

An industrial automation system, comprising:

• a power supply;
• an industrial automation motor starter configured to receive power from the power supply;
• a disconnect switch assembly configured to electrically couple the power supply to the industrial automation motor starter, the disconnect switch assembly comprising:
• a housing;
• a fuse block disposed within the housing, the fuse block comprising a first fuse interface configured to receive a first end of a fuse;
• a reversible fuse support block disposed within the housing, opposite the fuse block, the reversible fuse support block comprising:
• a molding configured to be installed within the housing in a first position and a second position, wherein the second position is rotated 180 degrees relative to the first position;
• a first terminal configured to couple to the molding, wherein the first terminal comprises a plurality of apertures disposed in a pattern;
• and
• a second fuse interface comprising a chuck and a v-block having a channel configured to receive the chuck, wherein the chuck and the v-block are configured to capture a second end of the fuse, wherein the second fuse interface is configured to couple to the first terminal in a first arrangement and a second arrangement such that when the second fuse interface is installed in the first arrangement and the molding is installed in the first position, the second fuse interface is disposed in substantially the same position relative to the first fuse interface as when the second fuse interface is installed in the second arrangement and the molding is installed in the second position.
