Light industrial circuit breaker terminal cover

A multi-pole circuit breaker having electrically-isolated line terminals comprising:

• a first single pole circuit breaker having a first line terminal intermediate a pair of first side wall extensions for connecting with a first line conductor;
• a second single pole circuit breaker having a second line terminal intermediate a pair of second side wall extensions for connecting with a second line conductor, said first and second circuit breakers being attached to form a multi-pole circuit breaker whereby one of said first side wall extensions abuts one of said second side wall extensions to form an intermediate slot;
• a terminal cover having a top piece and a downwardly depending side piece;
• a pair of notches formed within said top piece, said notches adapted for receiving the first and second line conductors;
• a center top piece intermediate said notches, said center top piece providing electric isolation to a top of said first and second line terminals;
• a pair of elongated notches formed within said side piece, said elongated notches adapted for receiving side wall extensions of a pair of adjacent circuit breakers;
• and
• a center side piece intermediate said pair of elongated notches, said center side piece being adapted for reception in press-fit relation within said intermediate slot.

A terminal cover for a pair of circuit breakers having line terminals, said terminal cover comprising:

• a top piece, the top piece having a width;
• a side piece depending angularly from the top piece, the side piece including a pair of end side pieces, the side piece comprising a first width equivalent to the width of the top piece;
• a first notch and a second notch formed within said top piece, said first and second notches adapted for receiving a pair of electrical conductors connecting with a corresponding pair of circuit breaker electrical terminals;
• a center top piece within said top piece and intermediate said notches;
• a pair of elongated notches formed within said side piece, said elongated notches adapted for receiving sides of a pair of adjacent circuit breakers;
• and
• a center side piece intermediate said elongated notches, said center side piece being adapted for reception in press-fit relation within a combined slot defined by slots in sides of a pair of adjacent circuit breakers;
• wherein the side piece comprises a second width defined by a combined width of the pair of end side pieces, the center side piece, and the pair of elongated notches, the second width of the side piece being less than the first width of side piece.

A terminal cover for a pair of circuit breakers having line terminals, said terminal cover comprising:

• a substantially planar top piece lying within a first plane, the top piece having a free end and an opposing attached end;
• a substantially planar side piece lying within a second plane, the side piece having a free end and an opposing attached end, wherein the attached end of the top piece abuts with the attached end of the side piece and the top piece and the side piece are perpendicular;
• a first notch and a second notch formed within said free end of said top piece, said first and second notches adapted for receiving a pair of electrical conductors connecting with a corresponding pair of circuit breaker electrical terminals;
• a center top piece within said free end of said top piece and intermediate said notches;
• a pair of elongated notches formed within said free end of said side piece, said elongated notches adapted for receiving sides of a pair of adjacent circuit breakers;
• and
• a center side piece intermediate said elongated notches, said center side piece being adapted for reception in press-fit relation within a combined slot defined by slots in sides of a pair of adjacent circuit breakers.
