Filed:

Mar 11, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/077917

Inventors:

James Rauckman - Swansea IL, US

International Classification:

H01B 7/00

US Classification:

174135, 174 5 R, 174138 F, 361232, 52101, 49 59

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides a wildlife guard for electrical power equipment including a disc having a central opening for fitting onto the equipment. The disc includes an electrically insulating material with a conductive filler material in quantity sufficient for the disc to maintain an electrostatic charge. The disc has an insertion slot extending from an outer portion to the central opening for movement of the disc onto the equipment. The present disclosure also provides a wildlife guard for an electrical insulator bushing having an electrical conductor extending outwardly therefrom. The wildlife guard includes an electrically nonconductive cover for covering at least a portion of the electrical conductor, the cover being adapted to mount upon the bushing and a conductive panel attached to the cover.

Appl. No.:

11/703471

Inventors:

James B. Rauckman - Swansea IL, US

International Classification:

H01B 7/04

US Classification:

174135, 174 5 R, 174138 F, 361232, 52101, 49 59

Abstract:

A wildlife guard for electrical power equipment including a body constructed to mount onto the equipment. The body has an electrically conductive layer thereon. The electrically conductive layer comprises an electrically insulating material with a conductive filler material in quantity sufficient for the guard to maintain an electrostatic charge. The electrically conductive layer is bonded to the body by over-molding or co-molding techniques. The electrically conductive layer can be continuous or can be discrete segments separated by non-conductive segments. The body can be constructed from a conductive or non-conductive material.
