Abstract:
A cover apparatus (200) can cover an electrical insulator (208) and an electrical conductor(210). The cover apparatus (200) includes one or more leg sections for covering a portion of the electrical conductor (210). The cover apparatus includes a cover section coupled to the one or more leg sections and covering a portion of the electrical insulator (208). The cover section includes a body portion and an adjustable portion coupled to the body portion at a 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 (208). An example method of forming a cover apparatus (200) for covering an electrical insulator (208) and an electrical conductor (210) is also provided.
Abstract:
A cover apparatus (200) is provided for covering an electrical insulator (208) and a conductor (210). The cover apparatus (200) includes a first cover portion (300) extending along a first axis (302). The first cover portion (300) comprises a first segment (308) covering a first portion of the electrical insulator (208) and a second segment (320) coupled to the first segment (308) and covering a first portion (212) of the conductor (210). The cover apparatus (200) includes a second cover portion (330) extending along a second axis (332). The second cover portion (330) comprises a third segment (334) movably attached to the first segment (308) and a fourth segment (346) coupled to the third segment (334) and covering a second portion (214) of the conductor (210). An example method of forming a cover apparatus for covering an electrical insulator and a conductor is also provided.
Abstract:
The specification discloses a cable (e.g., fiber optic) housing assembly that facilitates securing cables and splices within its interior while providing a convenient work tray to assist a technician when splicing cables above ground level. The housing assembly can be equipped with a grommet and bobbin assembly that secures cables within the interior of the housing. Additionally, modular splice blocks can be configured within the interior of the housing in order to secure cable splices. In aspects, these modular splice blocks can be added as needed in a variety of configurations, including but not limited to, vertical stacking, horizontal back-to-back, or the like. The modular characteristics of the splice blocks enhance the as-needed extensibility of the housing assembly.
