Re: Rule <R50>

Section E does not mention anything about other terminals needing to be insulated, but I recommend doing so anyway. A loose screw falling onto one of your panels and shorting it out (causing your main breaker to pop) is not the way you want to end your participation in a match.

Same goes for Victors. Insulate the V± terminals, and ESPECIALLY the M± terminals, since shorting them together will blow the unit and possibly set it on fire.
