Thank you for asking, WBahn. Assume a conductor connected to a home applianceNeed some additional information. How much voltage/current are we talking about? Is the circuit inductive? What will control the circuit?
You aren't saying much there? Also a "home appliance" can be a large load like an electric drier or a light load like a small electric knife sharpener. You really need to be more specific.without mechanically disconnecting wire/conductor?
Hi, Thanks for your time. I don't want a mechanical switch ...but a continuous conductor.You can mechanically disconnect using a switch or relay contacts, if that is not what you want you can electronically disconnect using as mentioned a SSR (Solid State Relay). Since you mentioned:

I'm not aware of any practical solution that would interrupt the AC current in a continuous conductor.Hi, Thanks for your time. I don't want a mechanical switch ...but a continuous conductor.
Home appliance can be anything from drier to small appliance....can be wide variation.
Then I am with the others who have suggested a Triode AC Switch” or Triac. Just make sure the Triac you choose can handle your load and you will still need a method to gate the triac. Electronic switching is normally designed around an intended application so the answer to your question is generic.Hi, Thanks for your time.
