Control system for separable load-break electrical connectors

An apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of separable load break devices, each separable load break device comprising:
• a resettable current interruption device associated with operating states, the operating states comprising at least a first operating state that prevents current flow in the resettable current interruption device and a second operating state that allows current flow in the resettable current interruption device;
• a switch control configured to control the operating state of the resettable current interruption device;
• a connection interface configured to mechanically connect the separable load break device to a bushing of a separate electrical device and to electrically connect the resettable current interruption device to the separate electrical device, wherein the connection interface is configured to be secured to the bushing of the separate electrical device and removed from the bushing of the separate electrical device without damaging the bushing or the connection interface;
• a current path electrically connected to the resettable current interruption device and to an electrical interface;
• and
• a sensor system configured to harvest electrical power from the current path;
• the electrical interface, the electrical interface configured to electrically connect the resettable current interruption device to a load, wherein the apparatus further comprises:
• a control system configured to provide electrically ganged operation of the plurality of separable load break devices, wherein the control system is separate from of the plurality of separable load break devices and is configured to receive electrical energy from the sensor system in each separable load break device.
