Visible break assembly including a window to view a power connection

A method comprising:

• moving a conductive connecting member to form and to break an electrical connection between a first conductive member that is electrically coupled to a first component and a second conductive member that is electrically coupled to a second component, the second conductive member being separated from the first conductive member by a gap;
• and
• viewing the movement of the conductive connecting member through a portion of a housing that receives the first conductive member, the second conductive member, and the connecting member, wherein the portion includes an insulating layer and a conductive layer that electrically shields the housing.

A method of manufacturing a visible break device that includes a housing that receives first conductive member configured to be electrically coupled to a first component, a second conductive member configured to be electrically coupled to a second component, and a conductive connecting member that is moveable across a gap to form and to break an electrical connection between the first and second conductive members, wherein the housing includes a transparent or translucent window that includes a transparent or translucent insulating layer and a transparent or translucent conductive layer, the method comprising:

• filling a mold with a transparent or translucent insulating material to form the insulating layer.
