Overhead Line Cover - Silicone - Self-locking

Touch proof terminations

Gala Silicon Overhead Line Covers are made from high quality non-tracking silicon rubber that are designed for field installation over bare conductors. These covers provide a layer of electrical insulation for Phase-to-Phase and Phase-to-Ground protection from bird and animals. The GSOC provides electrical insulation, UV resistance and tracking resistance. Silicon Self-fusing Tape can be applied on it for better insulation.

Features & Benefits :
  • Excellent UV and Ozone resistance.
  • Excellent Tracking resistance.
  • Good Di-electric strength.
  • Protection for leads and jumpers.
  • Highly flexible silicone tubing makes application easy.
  • Flame Retardant.
  • No special installation tool required.
  • Does not require further derating conductors.
  • Helps prevent contacts by eliminating gaps in coverage.
  • Provides Insulation Enhancement upto 765 kV
GSOC-M for voltage level upto 12 kV
GSOC-H for voltage level upto 36 kV
GSOC-EH for voltage level upto 765 kV
