Preformed Line Products WP-11S WILDLIFE PROTECTOR NEW
Existing tap retrofit. Apply through slit edge and holdguard in place with the fasteners provided.
CONSTRUCTION:
-All of the wildlife protectors are made from a light gray, high voltage, plastisol compound that is a minimum of 100 mils thick. This material contains ultraviolet stabilizers and fungicides and has a dielectric strength of 240 V/mil.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
-These devices are designed to reduce the number of outages experienced on the utilityÂ’s distribution system by insulating transformer bushings, lighting arrestors, capacitors and switching equipment from incidental contact by animals. This is achieved by covering energized components sufficiently so that an animal can not contact the component and ground potential simultaneously.
-INTENDED USE:
-Plastisol guards are to be secured to the bushings of transformers or similar equipment such that the energized components are covered for a reasonable distance or an insulating medium separates energized components from grounded components in areas open to animal contact.
