An improved enclosure and latching structure for the cable compartment of a tank for a padmounted distribution transformer. The enclosure is of non- conductive fire resistant material. A curved latch arm of non-conductive material is pivotally connected to support structure mounted on the front tank panel of the transformer above the midpoint thereof. The enclosure is shaped to conceal the cable compartment of the tank and is open at the back for engaging the periphery of the tank panel. The enclosure has an opening in the front adjacent the top thereof through which extends locking means secured to the enclosure for mating with locking structure carried at the free end of the latch arm. The locking means in the opening in the front of the enclosure engages the locking structure at an elevation on the enclosure higher than the pivoted end of the latch arm whereby when the locking means and locking structure are tightened, a compression and moment loading is generated which combine to create a force on the enclosure to hold the open back of the enclosure tightly against the periphery of the tank panel.
