Patent ID: 8097804

Claim:
A conductor protection system configured to suspend an electrical device from an overhead mounting bracket, wherein a vertical loading force is generated when the electrical device is suspended, the system comprising: an insulated conductor passing through a first ferrule and a second ferrule, wherein the first ferrule and the second ferrule are separated by a suspension length of the insulated conductor; a protective jacket enclosing at least a portion of the first ferrule, at least a portion of the second ferrule and the suspension length of the insulated conductor; first jacket securing means comprising a first collar surrounding at least a portion of the protective jacket and at least a portion of the first ferrule, wherein the vertical loading force causes the protective jacket to be held between the first ferrule and the first collar; and second jacket securing means comprising a second collar surrounding at least a portion of the protective jacket and at least a portion of the second ferrule, wherein the vertical loading force causes the protective jacket to be held between the second ferrule and the second collar; wherein the protective jacket bears substantially all suspended weight of the electrical device and protects the insulated conductor from damaging suspension-induced stress.
