INSULATION ENHANCEMENT PRODUCTS
Gala Wildlife & Asset Protection Products such as Heat Shrinkable Tubes, Tapes, Sheets, Pre-moulded Protection Covers, etc. provide a long term, cost effective and easy to install retrofit solution to eliminate power outages caused by bird and animals.
Electrical Distribution equipment with bare bus bars, conductors and connections is always at risk to having phases or phase to ground accidentally bridged. As well as the obvious problems caused to the network, such events can also endanger protected wildlife. Birds and animals often enter substations and interfere with overhead lines causing faults by bridging air clearances.
Substation equipment is vulnerable to flashovers caused by accidental bridging of phases, or phase to earth. Usually made by birds, animals, vegetation or airborne debris, flashovers can be very expensive in terms of damage to equipment, reduced reliability and in some cases even electrocution of protected species. Almost any event of this nature can be prevented by insulating the strategically vulnerable bare metalwork with a combination of Gala Insulation Enhancement Products.
