Overhead Line Cover
Overhead line covers for bare conductors. MVLC provides state-of-the-art insulation to help prevent electrical outages. It is designed to insulate existing bare lines without costly conductor replacement expenditures or additional line hardware. MVCC provides high quality electrical insulation and made from non-tracking silicone material suitable for harsh medium voltage outdoor environments. MVCC is suitable for applications up to 25 kV phase to ground. Covers protect energized conductors from flashovers due to contact from birds and animals.
- MVLC Available in 3 different sizes
- Prevents electrical outages on distribution lines caused by trees or wildlife
- Installation tool allows application on energized lines
- Non-mastic version available for applications up to 15 kV
- Mastic sealed version available for 36 kV applications
- MVCC Available in 4 different sizes
- Electrical insulation for substation leads and jumpers
- Non-tracking silicone material suitable for harsh MV outdoor environments
- MVCC covers are split for easy installations
