Noise attenuating barrier for air-core dry-type reactor

A kit for a noise mitigating sound shield, the kit comprising:

• an assembly configured for attachment to an air-core dry-type reactor, wherein the assembly is configured for forming a closed cylinder positioned radially outward from an outermost surface of a reactor build, wherein the reactor build including a coil and a first spider coupled to the coil, the first spider having a plurality of arms radiating from a central hub, the plurality of arms having free ends each of which having a hook like notch, wherein the assembly including a noise attenuating barrier having an innermost surface, wherein the noise attenuating barrier is positioned radially outward from the outermost surface of the reactor build, wherein the noise attenuating barrier is held in place using epoxy-impregnated fiberglass ties which are wrapped around the hook like notch, and wherein no portion of the outermost surface of the reactor build directly contacts the innermost surface of the noise attenuating barrier limiting structure-borne sound transmission from the reactor build to the noise attenuating barrier, and wherein the noise attenuating barrier comprises a plurality of sound absorbing panels each including a plurality of layers, the plurality of layers includes a layer of sound absorbing material on a side closer to the reactor build and a layer of sound barrier material on a side farther from the reactor build.
