A modular panel wall system having connectable prewired electrical harnesses in panel top raceways and transition connectors coupling the electrical lines across connecting posts on which the panels are mounted. The transition connectors conceal the wiring in panel junctions. The panels are removably joined at a post. In order to disconnect the panels from the post, the transition couplings extending between the panels must be removed for safety. Lower raceways of the panels have openings into which receptacles for electrical power can easily be inserted, and wires are transferred within a vertical member from the top raceway to the bottom. The receptacles are isolated from the main lower raceways to permit the lower raceways to be used for communication wiring.

In combination with a pair of movable wall partitions, an assembly for shielding electrical wiring harnesses for passing from one movable wall partition to the other at the top of the junction region of the movable wall partitions, the movable partitions including metal channels forming electrical raceways along the top longitudinal length thereof and support members for coupling adjacent movable wall panels together, said assembly being separate from the support members and comprising a first generally cylindrical member adapted to be positioned with its center substantially centered between the movable partitions, at least one additional generally cylindrical member rotatably mounted on the first mentioned cylindrical member for rotation relative thereto, a pair of panel insert members having portions adapted to fit within end portions of raceways of any movable partition with which the assembly is used, means to removably couple each of said panel insert members to one of the generally cylindrical members whereby each of the panel insert members can be rotated with one of the general cylindrical members relative to each other when installed on movable partitions, electrical wire means mounted in said raceways, said electrical wire means including connectors at opposite ends thereof adjacent the opposite sides of the respective partitions, and each connector having a ground wire connection with a ground wire attached thereto, and the ground wires from the opposite end connectors being connected to the associated metal channel raceway adjacent the respective ends of the associated raceway to ground the raceway and retain the connectors adjacent the respective ends of the raceway, and electrical harness means mounted within said panel insert members and traversing across and within the generally cylindrical members, said harness means including harness electrical connectors coupled to first mentioned connectors of the respective wire means in the adjoining movable wall partitions.
