Abstract

See full text

A protective conductor cover for a distribution line conductor includes an elongate cover body having a longitudinal axis and including first and second opposed, elongate sidewalls. The sidewalls define an axially extending cover channel terminating at axially opposed end openings, and an axially extending bottom opening communicating with the cover channel and terminating at the axially opposed end openings. The protective conductor cover further includes an integral conductor retention tab having a base end attached to the first sidewall and extending laterally from the first sidewall into the cover channel to a free terminal end of the conductor retention tab. The conductor retention tab is configured to elastically deflect and secure the conductor in the cover channel when the conductor is inserted into the cover channel through the bottom opening.
