Claim Text:
1. A dielectric cover system comprising: an insulator having at least one dielectric neck forming a reduced diameter portion, the insulator supporting a conductor running substantially perpendicular to the insulator, the conductor being for carrying a voltage, the insulator being supported by a support structure; a dielectric material shaped to fit over the insulator to cover at least a top portion of the insulator and the conductor in contact with the insulator; openings on opposite sides of the cover for the conductor to extend through, which allows the cover to be placed over the conductor and insulator, and removed from over the conductor and insulator, without removing the conductor from the insulator; and a securing clip connected to and completely internal to the cover, the clip having a first portion that fits over a second portion of the dielectric neck of the insulator as the cover is placed over the insulator to block the cover from being rotated about the insulator due to the first portion of the securing clip engaging the insulator at the reduced diameter portion of the insulator.
