Substation Cover-up and barrier equipment is used during routine maintenance where accidental contact may occur. This barrier equipment is often used where outages are difficult to reach and the occurrence of accidental contact is high. These covers may be applied with rubber gloves or hot sticks. These covers are made from Type I orange ABS plastic. This equipment is not intended for permanent or semi-permanent barrier or insulating applications. Use these covers to protect against accidental contact only. These covers are not to be left installed for extended periods of time especially when in contact with both a grounded and energized object.

Bus Guards are easily interlocked with each other. To interlock units determine the length of bus to be covered. Place one unit on the bus then the other, pulling it over the first cover until the dimples interlock at the required length. This guard has a voltage rating of 36.6 kV (guarded Ø to guarded Ø).

Bus "T" Guards interlock two or three bus guards at bus tap "T" connections and 90 degree angles. To interlock units, first position the bus guard then slide the "T" guard over the top interlocking the dimples. This guard has a voltage rating of 36.6 kV (guarded Ø to guarded Ø).

Bus End Guards cover the ends of a substation bus supported by station post insulators. The slot and insulator grip hole can be easily enlarged in the field with a sharp knife. This cover also has a guide bead for a trim fit. This guard has a voltage rating of 26.4 kV (guarded Ø to guarded Ø).
