Abstract
A power transmission line cover includes an elongate, flexible panel and first and second elongate, integral edge portions. The first edge portion includes an elongate first latch feature and the second edge portion includes an elongate second latch feature. The cover includes an elongate inner creepage extender wall forming a part of one of the first and second edge portions, and an elongate outer creepage extender wall forming a part of one of the first and second edge portions. The flexible panel is wrapped about a power line and the edge portions are joined together to form a longitudinally extending closure seam wherein the latch features are coupled and the edge portions form an electrical creepage path extending from the chamber to an exterior boundary of the cover along the inner creepage extender wall, between the first and second latch features, and along the outer creepage extender wall.
