A circuit breaker terminal lug cover (1) is structured to mechanically secure to a circuit breaker terminal lug (2) and protect the terminal lug from degradation or corrosion. The terminal lug includes a number of terminal lug screws (5) capable of securing a number of cables to the circuit breaker (3). The terminal lug cover includes a plurality of sides (10 11 12 13) structured to carry heat away from the terminal lug or deflect ionized gases away from the terminal lug. At least one (12 13) of the sides includes a number of securing members (8 9) structured to mechanically secure the terminal lug cover to the circuit breaker terminal lug. One (10) of the sides includes an access hole (6) permitting access to the number of terminal lug screws.
