Abstract
The present invention comprises, among other things, an electrical termination lug and a terminal strip. The electrical termination lug is made out of a conductive material having a plurality of non-threaded cavities in which to receive conductors, and a plurality of threaded cavities in which to receive set screws. The terminal strip is adapted to retain the lugs, and is made out of non-conductive material. In addition, the terminal strip comprises, among other things, a first wall, a second wall, isolation walls, and retaining members. Further, the terminal strip member defines a hole through the first wall of the terminal strip and a hole through the second wall of the terminal strip member, each adjacent to one of the threaded and non-threaded cavities in the termination lug.
