WILDLIFE GUARD FOR ELECTRICAL INSULATOR BUSHINGS

摘要

Wildlife guards for surrounding electrical insulator bushings and electrical conductors extending therefrom include pivotally connected first and second cover portions. Each cover portion includes a respective lever arm configure d such that when a force is applied to the first and second lever arms by a portion of an electrical insulator bushing, the first and second cover portions pivot together into engagement in a closed position surrounding the electrical insulator bushing and a portion of the electrical conductor extending from the electrical insulator bushing. A plurality of flexible fingers extending from adjacent edge portions of the cover portions allow an electrical conductor to extend therethrough while preventing the ingress of animals.
