Abstract
Described herein is a protective cover assembly for an electrical cable mounted on an insulator. The assembly includes an insulator cover including a cover body covering the electrical cable and the insulator and an electrically conductive arc diverter. The arc diverter is elongated in an axial direction that is parallel to a center axis of the electrical cable and is attached to an outer surface of the electrical cable at a portion of the electrical cable that is covered by the insulator cover such that a portion of the arc diverter is positioned below and covered by the insulator cover and another portion of the arc diverter extends past a terminal end of the insulator cover with an end of the arc diverter being spaced apart from the terminal end of the insulator cover in the axial direction.
