Wildlife guards serve as physical and insulating barriers and are installed on components including bushings, surge arresters, insulators, and connectors. TE has insulated millions of miles and kilometers of bare conductor in distribution lines around the world. Our raptor covers, fuse cut out covers, re-closer and distribution covers protect pole mounted equipment from accidental and momentary contact from nesting and perching birds and storm. Minimize equipment damage, revenue loss, and power outages caused by wildlife interaction. The highest risk points on arresters are the high voltage contacts, and by covering these contacts, the accidental contact risk from animals is. Substations bordering wooded areas face greatest risk of intrusion by birds and carnivores. A number of factors are driving growing interest in applying wildlife protective devices at vulnerable substations. One is the universal goal of maintaining high system reliability. Additionally, our patented animal guards allow for precise thermal & visual inspections, both of which most utilities rely upon. In order to help minimize wildlife related outages, Eaton offers both Cooper Power series line terminal and ground terminal wildlife guards. Both guards are perfect for traditional heavy-duty and/or riser pole applications.
