Abstract
A fuse cutout assembly cover including an insulator cover end for positioning over a cutout assembly insulator and including a shield end for shielding a cutout upper contact assembly. The insulator cover is constructed to receive a variety of insulator and cutout assembly configurations.
Claims20
A fuse cutout cover for use with fuse cutout assemblies having insulators of different sizes and configurations, the fuse cutout assemblies each further including a fuse and an upper contact assembly for engaging an upper end of the fuse, the cover comprising:
- a contact assembly shield configured for shielding the upper contact assembly;
- and
- an insulator cover configured for covering at least an upper end of the insulator, the insulator cover comprising a hollow body having a central longitudinal axis and including a first side wall having a first height, a second side wall disposed above the first side wall, the second side wall having a second height and at least a portion of the second side wall being located inwardly of the first side wall toward the longitudinal axis of the hollow body, a first top wall extending between the first side wall and the second side wall at a top of the first side wall, the first top wall being discontinuous with the first side wall and the second side wall, and a third side wall disposed above the second side wall, the third side wall having a third height and at least a portion of the third side wall being located inwardly of the second side wall toward the longitudinal axis of the hollow body, and a second top wall extending between the second side wall and the third side wall at a top of the second side wall, the second top wall being discontinuous with the second side wall and the third side wall.
A fuse cutout cover for use with fuse cutout assemblies having insulators of different sizes and configurations, the fuse cutout assemblies each further including a fuse and an upper contact assembly for engaging an upper end of the fuse, the cover comprising:
- a contact assembly shield configured for shielding the upper contact assembly;
- and
- an insulator cover having a longitudinal axis extending through a center of the insulator cover, the insulator cover being configured for covering at least an upper end of the insulator, the insulator cover comprising a hollow body including a first side wall, a second side wall disposed above the first side wall and a third side wall disposed above the second side wall, the second side wall being shaped to define a first space having a first cross sectional area, and a second space having a second cross sectional area smaller than the first cross sectional area, the longitudinal axis passing through the second space and the first space being located radially outward from the longitudinal axis.
