Abstract
Adapter for securing a terminal block, such as the standard terminal block on a transformer, to one or more standard fuse blocks, requiring a minimum of parts and mounting space. An adapter plate is interposed between the terminal block and the bottom of the fuse block and secured to each. In one embodiment, the conventional terminal screws of the terminal block are used to secure the adapter to the terminal block. In the illustrated embodiments, the adapter plate does not provide any electrical connection between the fuse block and terminal block, this being provided by jumper wires having their respective wire terminals secured to terminals of a joined terminal block and fuse block.
