Preformed Line Products WP-17T WILDLIFE PROTECTOR NEW
Single bushing transformer and capacitor. Will cover a maximum of 12.5" of tap wire. Locking tabs hold the guard on the first skirt of the insulator.
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.
