Abstract
A cover for protecting connecting leads and terminals of a switchgear, which extend to one side of the switchgear from an upper part, is made in the shape of a Z. One arm of the Z extends upwards, parallel to the outside wall of the upper part and the other arm of the Z extends downwards and covers the region of the terminals. The first arm is provided wih outward facing grooves or slots which have spacings like the spacings between the connecting leads when they are connected to the terminals. When the switchgear is disconnected from the leads and removed from the mounting, the Z-shaped cover is reversed and fastened to the mounting in its place. Since the leads are more or less rigid, the covering now extends over and protects them. Thus, the same cover, by simple reorientation, serves to protect the connecting leads when they are connected to the switchgear and when the switchgear is not in place.
