ABSTRACT:
The invention is an electrical shock prevention apparatus for electrical equipment having conductors capable of being connected to a voltage source comprising, a shield made of nonconductive material and guarding the conductors on at least three sides, and a cover attached to the shield by a living hinge so that when the cover is closed, the conductors are not accessible from a fourth side, and when the cover is open, the conductors are accessible from the fourth side. The invention also has rails molded into the side of the electrical apparatus, and grooves molded into a side of the shield so that the shield is attached to the apparatus by the grooves sliding over the rails. Protrusions extending from the side of the electrical apparatus snap into a recess of the shield, thereby locking the shield into position on the rails.
