An electrical disconnect apparatus comprising:

• a support;
• a first electrical conductor situated on the support;
• a second electrical conductor situated on the support;
• and
• a connection device comprising a conductive element, the connection device being structured to be movable between:
• a first position wherein the conductive element is electrically connected with each of the first and second electrical conductors and completes at least a portion of a circuit that includes the first and second electrical conductors, and
• a second position wherein the conductive element is removed from electrical contact with each of the first and second electrical conductors;
• and
• wherein the first electrical conductor has a first receptacle formed therein, and wherein the second electrical conductor has a second receptacle formed therein, the conductive element being electrically conductively received in the first and second receptacles in the first position of the connection device.
