ABSTRACT:
Electrical barrier strips, such as are commonly used in power distribution panels, may utilize a variety of fasteners by which wires are connected to the strip. To prevent shorting between adjacent connectors, insulating partitions are formed between the connectors. While most barrier strips leave the tops of the connectors exposed to the environment, the present invention provides a barrier strip cover which removably snaps onto the barrier strip partitions to protect the connectors. Complimentary extensions on the base of the cover and on the top of the partitions engage each other to hold the cover to the partitions. A partition at the end of the barrier strip, which does not have any extensions, engages a groove in the bottom of the cover to align the cover over the barrier strip.
