Abstract
An implosion shield of ballistic fabric is formed by a selected number of layers of ballistic fabric draped, enveloped or coiled around an implosion sleeve or dead-end and secured with fasteners through holes formed around the perimeter of the ballistic fabric. The implosion shield is installed around the implosion sleeve or dead-end by draping over or wrapping or enveloping and fastening the implosion shield around the implosion sleeve or dead-end so as to attenuate shock, pressure and sound waves from the detonation and so as to direct pressurized gas from the detonation along and parallel to the powerline or down and away from the powerline to keep it away from linemen in a bucket or on the ground.
