Abstract A terminal enclosure for the secondary terminals of an instrument transformer. The enclosure comprises a terminal block or securing member mounting on the secondary terminals. The securing or block member is provided with port barriers to bar access to the secondary terminals. A clear plastic box cover is provided made of electrically insulating material which fits over the terminal block member. A thumb nut is held captive in the cover and engages a stud on the securing member to secure the cover to such securing member for enclosing the terminals. A pair of ports are formed in the cover to provide access to the secondary terminals in one position of the cover. A short circuit device is mounted on the stud and interlocks with the cover such that the ports in the cover are barred when the shorting device is in its closed position.
A terminal enclosure for the secondary terminals of an instrument transformer comprising, in combination; a. a securing member including a base portion having openings to receive the secondary terminals, snap locking means on said base portion, said snap locking means acting to lock said securing member to the secondary terminals, b. an open box cover member of clear plastic material, said cover member having a pair of ports in a side thereof to provide access to the secondary terminals and attaching means for attaching said cover member to said securing member.
