The definition for sectionalizer is wrong. The device that allows one or more faults to occur before interrupting the current is called a "recloser". A good description of a sectionalizer can be found here: [1] http://www.cooperpower.com/Products/Distribution/Sectionalizers/ 86.121.200.253 (talk) 23:48, 17 November 2008 (UTC) [Mircea]Reply

This seems to have been corrected--I don't see that term in the article anymore. Ccrrccrr (talk) 22:30, 4 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

This is also incorrect, "the fuse holder drops out of the upper contact, breaking the circuit." In actuality, the fuse melts, arcs and clears/breaks the circuit. Then the fuse top contact retracts pr releases so that it can "drop-out" or swing out of the holder. This provides the visual indication and predictable separation between live parts and the de-energized faulted line --JTsams talk 13:50, 5 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

This seems to have been corrected. The description seems correct to me now. Ccrrccrr (talk) 22:31, 4 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

First photo--mounting

Latest comment: 5 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I'm confused by the first/main photo. It appears to show the bracket that mounts the unit to the pole connected to the lower contact of of the cutout. That can't be right--it must be an optical illusion caused the the angle of the photo and maybe a telephoto lens. The bracket must attach to the middle of the insulator somewhere behind it that we can't see. I think that is confusing, and I think we should replace the picture.
