Abstract
A power terminal enclosure may be used to provide power conductors (power terminals) across electrical isolation boundaries while providing electrical short-circuit protections. The power terminal enclosure may be a single article molded from an electrically insulating material. The power terminal enclosure may also be dimensioned to provide sufficient separation distance between other power terminal enclosures for a given maximum voltage of a power conductor (power terminal) so that power conductors enclosed by the power terminal enclosures are properly spaced apart with a minimum separate distance. The power terminal enclosure may also include a mechanical retention mechanism, such as a snap-fit retention area, for mating with a power conductor enclosed by the power terminal enclosure. The power terminal enclosure may partially pass through an opening in an isolation barrier (such as a wall and/or plate), with the power conductor passing through the power terminal enclosure.
