High altitude, high voltage rear terminal block assembly

A generator comprising:

• a generator housing;
• first and second terminal blocks secured to the housing remotely from one another;
• cables electrically connecting the first and second terminal blocks to one another;
• and
• wherein the second terminal block comprises a base and a cover, the base including first and second transverse surfaces adjoining one another, and spaced apart protrusions extending from the first and second surfaces to provide spaced apart terminal areas overlapping the first and second surfaces;
• first and second terminal studs provided in corresponding first and second terminal areas, wherein at least one of the terminal areas includes a length measured from the corresponding one of the first and second terminal studs to an end of the terminal area greater than a length of a lug of a cable attachable to the corresponding one of the first and second terminal studs;
• and
• a bus bar extending from the first terminal stud to the second terminal stud providing electrical conduction between the first and second terminal studs.
