Power switch assembly having indicators and removable cover

A power switch assembly comprising:

• a power switch enclosure including:
• a box portion defining a box cavity, and
• a cover portion defining a cover cavity removably attachable to the box portion to form the power switch enclosure and to define an interior cavity comprising the combined box cavity and cover cavity;
• a power switch installed in the box cavity and having a plurality of terminals;
• a handle shaft extending through a wall of the cover portion, the handle shaft including:
• a switch end extending into the interior cavity of the power switch enclosure and configured for operatively engaging the power switch, and
• a handle end extending out of the interior cavity and away from an exterior surface of the wall of the cover portion, the handle end configured for operatively engaging a handle positioned on the exterior surface of the wall of the cover portion;
• and
• a monitor circuit including:
• a circuit board attached to the cover portion in the cover cavity, the circuit board having a first side facing the wall of the cover portion and a second side facing away from the wall of the cover portion,
• monitor circuitry formed on at least one of the first side or the second side of the circuit board, and
• a plurality of connectors at least partially installed on the second side of the circuit board,
• wherein the connectors are configured, upon attachment of the cover portion to the box portion and without manual disconnection or reconnection of wires, to electrically interact with a corresponding terminal of the power switch to establish electrical communication between the corresponding terminal of the power switch and the monitor circuitry of the monitor circuit, and
• wherein the connectors are configured, without manual disconnection or reconnection of wires, to terminate the electrical interactions upon removal of the cover portion from the box portion.
