 The spec says that the switch  shall open all ungrounded 
 conductors.  What does that mean? 
  
 Best regards,
 Grace

In power systems, there are phase conductors (sometimes referred to as
line), grounded supply conductors (usually referred to as neutral
and equipment grounding conductors (the green wire).  The ungrounded
conductors are the phase conductors.

Hi Peter,
 
Thank you very much for your explanation and John's correction.
 
After forwarding your explanation to my colleage, he asked:
 
The spec says that the switch  shall open all ungrounded conductors.  What
does that mean? 
 
Could you please help?
 
Best regards,
Grace

 Can someone explain what the meaning of A maintained-break 
 type switch shall open all ungrounded conductors is?

Grace -

A maintained-break switch does remake the circuit when the actuation
means is released, as would be the case for a momentary switch.  Snap 
switches are examples of maintained-break switches (though I have seen
maintained-break and momentary built into a single switch).
