Bus bar insulator

An assembly through which at least one bus bar extends, the assembly comprising:

• a first mounting panel and an oppositely facing mounting panel, the first and second mounting panels have bus bar-receiving openings which extend therethrough;
• an insulator positioned proximate each of the bus bar-receiving openings, each insulator comprising:
• a contoured mounting member;
• a bus bar-holding opening extending through the mounting member;
• and
• axial engagement members provide on the insulator.

An assembly through which at least one bus bar extends, the assembly comprising:

• a mounting panel and an oppositely facing mounting panel, the first and second mounting panels have bus bar-receiving openings which extend therethrough;
• insulators positioned in each of the bus bar-receiving openings, each insulator comprising:
• a mounting member having contoured edges;
• mounting openings provided on the mounting member, the mounting openings are offset from the geometrical centerline of the bus bar-receiving opening by more than the radius of mounting hardware used to mount the insulator to a respective mounting panel of the assembly;
• a bus bar-holding opening extending through the mounting member;
• bus bar engagement members provided on the insulator proximate the bus bar-holding opening, the bus bar engagement members dimensioned to receive insulator engagement members provided on the at least one bus bar which is positioned in the bus bar-holding opening;
• the mounting hardware of adjacent insulators being interleaved to allow for close spacing of the insulators while maintaining proper spacing to provide the electrical insulation required for the at least one bus bar.
