Polyolefin Overhead Line Cover (Insulcover)

  • Overhead Line Cover

Insulcover is a Medium Voltage Wrap Around Overhead Line Cover that provides retrofit insulation for overhead conductors to help prevent electrical outages caused by trees or wildlife coming into the contact with distribution lines.

It is manufactured from high quality Non Tracking Polyolefin material.

IInsulcover is designed to insulate existing bare lines without costly conductor replacement expenditure or additional line hardware. Insulcover may be applied selectively on problem spans when temperatures are above 0oC.

Installation is possible on energized lines utilizing the Split Insulation Tool which attaches directly to the overhead conductor and remains stationary ina single location.

FEATURES & BENEFITS:
  • High dielectric strength.
  • Excellent UV stabilized & weather resistant.
  • Anti Tracking & Erosion resistant
  • Prevent Conductor from Chemical corrosion effected by strong acid, alkali, salt, etc..
  • Halogen free, Flame Retardant.
  • Insulcover is available in three sizes that covers conductors from 16 to 800 sq.mm.
