Overview

Our Raychem BCAC-IC Bushing Covers for Transformers have been successfully eliminating outages from all types of animals for years. This Bushing Cover is designed to provide the same great protection with enhanced features.

The cover is easily installed around bushings and connections by wrapping the double-hinged design around the insulator’s top skirt and snapping it in place with a robust latching mechanism. The Bushing Cover allows for conductors to exit out both from the top and side interfaces without the need to trim the cover. The design allows for visible inspections of oil fill levels on transformer bushings as well.

Superior high-voltage outdoor materials are used in the bushing cover design. The rugged, cross-linked, non-tracking, UV-resistant, high-temperature polymer ensures long-term performance even in extreme environmental conditions.
