This is slightly OT, but what are people using to protect the line
inputs on barrier terminal strips on power supplies often used to power
Thunderbolts and FE-5680A's?
On things like the Mean Well and similar supplies the AC line
terminals are not fully enclosed. I happened to have an
When terminal strips don't have snap on safety guards I remove half the
mounting screws and replace with nylon standoffs, (most strips i use have
four screw mounts, keep two metals screws for mechanical stability, the
other two are nylon stand off.. Obviously you want a metal screw on either
side,
Barier strips usually have four screw holes for mounting, two on each end.
The classic cover uses these mounting screws to also hold a Plexiglas
cover the is just slightly larger than the strip.
When I hade a sailboat, I used many of thee strips and I'd paint over the
screws with liquid
I use european style terminal strips-all electronics or MPJA, I don't

These tend to be very common in heavier duty applications in the USA,
though DIN mount terminals are always very common in industrial
applications.
Since I happened to have one of those MeanWell PSUs sitting here, this
is what the terminal strips look like.
