Electrically insulated fence

Abstract

An electrically insulated fence including a substrate of a rigid wire mesh fence, with a coating or covering there on, rendering the fence electrically isolated, in order to deter electrocution of maintenance workers coming into contact with the electrically charged fence. All surfaces, which may be contacted by the maintenance worker, are preferably either coated or covered with an extruded piece of electrically insulating material.

1 . A perimeter fence assembly, comprising: 
 an electrically insulated and isolated fence assembly covering;    an extruded fence post covering made of an insulated or an electrically insulating material;    wherein said electrically isolating jacket covers the structural portion of the fence.    
   
   
       2 . The fence of  claim 1 , where in the electrically insulating material may be selected from the group consisting of thermal plastic, thermoset, and plastic materials.  
   
   
       3 . The electrically insulating material of  claim 2 , where in the material is selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, polyethylene, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride coating, ceramic, including alumina, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, and other electrically insulating ceramic formable materials.
