Abstract:
A substantially planar electrically insulating article for protecting elongate electrical equipment, the electrical equipment having two longitudinally spaced-apart portions that, in operation, are at different electrical potentials, the article comprising:two substantially planar parts connected to each other at a pivot point such that relative rotation of the two parts about the pivot point causes the parts to move between an open condition and a closed condition of the article, wherein, in the open condition, the article can be applied to the electrical equipment, and wherein, in the closed condition, the article encircles the electrical equipment so as to be retained thereon and to extend generally transversely thereof; anda pin with an enlarged head secured to one of the parts and a keyhole-shaped aperture in the other part, wherein the enlarged head of the pin is insertable into a wider portion of the keyhole aperture and is slideable therealong into a narrower portion and securable therein so as to secure the two parts of the article together in the closed condition around the electrical equipment.
