A shelf includes a shelf support plate, an insulator formed at least partially of a first electrically insulating material, a first fastener, a second fastener and a shelf brace. The shelf support plate, the first fastener, the second fastener, and the shelf brace are formed at least partially of electrically conductive material. The shelf support plate includes a first aperture wall. The insulator includes second and third aperture walls. The shelf brace includes a brace plate, a shelf hook that extends from the brace plate, and a fourth aperture wall through the shelf brace. The insulator mounts between the shelf support plate and the shelf brace using the first fastener inserted into the first and second aperture walls and the second fastener inserted into the fourth and third aperture walls. The shelf hook connects to an electrical connector to provide current to the shelf brace.
