The interaction between wildlife and electrical equipment can have multiple outcomes from electrocution, to faults, to wildfires. These occur when wildlife cause a phase to phase or phase to ground fault with their body.

Possums, birds, rats and other wildlife are all capable of causing power outages. Animals climb around substations; birds perch on transformers; they are seeking a safe, warm place to shelter and nest. Even small birds or rodents can cause problems by attracting larger predators.

The TE wildlife and asset protection product solutions can reduce fire risk related to wildlife and vegetation clashing with your substation or overhead lines.

Insulating and Isolating components help mitigate active threats and reduce the risk of outages and the associated risk of fire related to wildlife contact. Protecting your assets, communities and wildlife seems like a good strategic investment.
