Zusammenfassung:	A circuit breaker (2) includes an enclosure (46) with a first side and a second side opposite and distal from the first side. A number of separable contacts (52) are enclosed by the enclosure. An operating mechanism (54) is structured to open and close the separable contacts. A plurality of terminals (12,14) are electrically interconnected with the number of separable contacts. The terminals protrude through the second side of the enclosure. A number of phase barrier apparatus (8,10) is disposed on the second side of the enclosure. Each of the number of phase barrier apparatus includes a plurality of separate phase barrier members (4), each of which is disposed about a corresponding one of the terminals, and a number of interlocking members (6). Each of the number of interlocking members (6) interlocks with an adjacent pair of the separate phase barrier members (4).
