A strut insulator for an overhead rail contact system includes a first end fitting, the first end fitting defining an inner side pocket, and a second end fitting spaced from the first end fitting, the second end fitting defining an inner side pocket. The strut insulator further includes a rod extending between the first end fitting and the second end fitting and extending into the inner side pockets of the first and second end fittings, the rod defining a length. The strut insulator further includes a shell surrounding a portion of rod, the shell extending along a portion of the length of the rod, the shell formed from a fluoropolymer.

A bus support includes a corona shield portion and a bus support portion on the corona shield portion. The bus support portion includes an insulator engagement ledge including one or more mounting apertures configured to receive a fastener therethrough for mounting the bus support to an insulator. The bus support portion includes first and second bus support walls extending upwardly from opposite sides of the insulator engagement ledge. Each bus support wall includes a U-shaped channel defined therein that is configured to receive and support a cylindrical and/or tubular bus conductor. The corona shield portion and the bus support portion form a monolithic structure.

A dielectric cover for an insulator and conductor in an electrical distribution includes an insulator cover portion for covering the insulator. A knob and ridge extend down from an inside ceiling of the insulator cover portion. An arm, for covering a portion of the conductor extending from the insulator, has a top keyhole, where the keyhole has a wide portion that fits over the knob in a first position and a narrow portion that restricts vertical movement of the arm in a locked position when the arm is withdrawn slightly. The arm also has a resilient tab that snaps over the ridge in the locked position, wherein the knob in combination with the keyhole restrict further withdrawing of the arm from the insulator cover portion in the locked position, and the tab contacting the ridge restricts further insertion of the arm into the insulator cover portion in the locked position.
