allowing for installations from a pole or
from a bucket.
A step latching mechanism is
incorporated for a more craft friendly
installation.
High Performance Material
Superior high voltage outdoor materials
are used in the BCAC cover design. The
rugged, track resistant, UV-resistant
polymer ensures long-term perfor-
mance even in the most extreme envi-
ronmental conditions.

The scissor action translates the force

on contact with the bushing core to a
rotating action that closes the cover
around the bushing.
