The present invention is an electrically non-conductive transformer lid that may replace the top of the housing of a transformer or be attached to the housing of a transformer. The lid may isolate an animal that is in contact with the lid from the ground grid, even if the animal attempts to make contact with the energized primary conductor or other apparatuses. The present invention thereby prevents electric current from flowing through the animal's body to the ground and prevents outages or electric faults from occurring. It may be attachable to a variety of known types of transformers, including pole-mounted distribution transformers. The means of attaching and removing the lid may be performed by a single person. The lid may be shaped to prevent moisture or other particulates from entering the transformer and thereby further protect the function of the transformer. |
