Overview

Our Raychem BCAC Bushing Guards range has been successfully eliminating outages from all types of animals for years. The Bushing Guard uses a scissor action design to allow for live installations on bushing skirts, ranging in size from 1.7" (43 mm) through 2.7" (68 mm) in core diameter and 3.0" (75 mm) through 4.75" (120 mm) in shed diameter. The scissor action translates the force on contact with the bushing core to a rotating action that closes the cover around the bushing.

The Bushing Guard is made from rugged, non-tracking, UV-resistant Raychem polymer which ensures long-term performance in outdoor, high voltage and extreme environmental conditions.
