Spacer arm corona shield

A spacer to hold an electrical cable, comprising:

• a first portion comprising an arm segment, an end segment, and a first clamp segment, the end segment and the first clamp segment located at opposite ends of the arm segment, the end segment constructed for attachment to a structure from which the electrical cable is supported;
• a second portion comprising a second clamp segment;
• a connection connecting the first portion and the second portion and permitting relative movement between the first portion and the second portion from an open position, wherein the first clamp segment and the second clamp segment do not hold the electrical cable, to a closed position, wherein the first clamp segment and the second clamp segment hold the electrical cable;
• and
• a corona shield extending from the first clamp segment to the second clamp segment and covering the connection when the first portion and the second portion are in the open position and when the first portion and the second portion are in the closed position, wherein the corona shield is configured to move with the first clamp segment and the second clamp segment during the relative movement between the first clamp segment and the second clamp segment.

A spacer to hold an electrical cable, comprising:

• a first portion comprising an arm segment, an end segment, a first clamp segment, and a first resilient member, the end segment and the first clamp segment located at opposite ends of the arm segment, the end segment constructed for attachment to a structure from which the electrical cable is supported, the first resilient member fastened to an inner surface of the first clamp segment;
• a second portion comprising a second clamp segment and a second resilient member fastened to an inner surface of the second clamp segment;
• a connection connecting the first portion and the second portion and permitting relative movement between the first portion and the second portion from an open position, wherein the first resilient member and the second resilient member do not hold the electrical cable, to a closed position, wherein the first resilient member and the second resilient member hold the electrical cable;
• and
• a flexible corona shield extending from the first clamp segment to the second clamp segment and covering the first portion, the second portion and the connection when the first portion and the second portion are in the open position and when the first portion and the second portion are in the closed position.
