  • Dimensionally adjustable cover for conductors and insulators
    Patent number: 8901429
    Abstract: A cover apparatus can cover an electrical insulator and an electrical conductor. The cover apparatus includes a leg section that covers a portion of the electrical conductor. A cover section covers a portion of the electrical insulator. The cover section can include a body portion that is coupled to the leg section at a first coupling location. The cover section includes an adjustable portion coupled to the body portion at a second coupling location located on an opposite side of the body portion relative to the first coupling location. The adjustable portion can be adjusted such that a dimension of the adjustable portion is adjusted according to a dimension of the electrical insulator. A method of forming a cover apparatus for covering an electrical insulator and an electrical conductor is also provided.
