Abstract
A cover for a distribution system circuit interrupting device having a top portion and an outer wall. The outer wall defining an interior. The outer wall having a first side portion, a second side portion, a rear portion, and a front opening. The rear portion configured to receive a distribution system insulator and the front opening configured to permit rotation of a fuse device from the interior to an exterior of the outer wall. An insert is positioned in the interior. The insert configured to releasably engage an insulator to connect the outer wall to the insulator.
Claims20
A cover for a distribution system circuit interrupting device comprising:
- a top portion;
- an outer wall extending from the top portion, the outer wall defining an interior, the outer wall having a first side portion, a second side portion, a rear portion, and a front opening, the rear portion configured to receive a distribution system insulator and the front opening configured to permit rotation of a fuse device from the interior to an exterior of the outer wall;
- and
- an insert positioned in the interior, the insert configured to releasably engage an insulator to connect the outer wall to the insulator.
A cover for a distribution system circuit interrupting device comprising:
- a top portion having a first top wall, a first set of fingers extending from the first top wall, a second top wall, a second set of fingers extending from the second top wall, a first flap extending from the first top wall, and a second flap extending from the second top wall, wherein the first and second flaps are configured to cover a slot;
- and
- an outer wall extending from the top wall, the outer wall defining an interior, the outer wall having a first side portion, a second side portion, a rear portion, and a front opening, the rear portion configured to receive a distribution system insulator and the front opening configured to permit rotation of a fuse device from the interior to an exterior of the outer wall.
An insert for a distribution system circuit interrupting device comprising:
- an upper portion having a planar portion extending in a first plane;
- a lower portion having a planar portion extending in a second plane opposite the first plane;
- an outer edge extending between the upper portion and the lower portion;
- and
- an inner edge extending between the upper portion and the lower portion,
- wherein the lower portion is configured to engage a support of a fuse device, and
- wherein the inner edge defines an aperture configured to receive an insulator body of a fuse device.
