CA 2604429

The invention relates to a shield which prevents squirrels or other animals from causing faults in power distribution substations. Switch and bus insulators are primary points of contact when a small animal crawls from a grounded, supporting structure across an insulator to an energized conductor. The present invention provides for a barrier on switch and bus insulators which prevents animals from coming into contact with a grounded structure and an energized conductor simultaneously, thus eliminating a ground path from the energized conductor through the animal to the grounded structure.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de protection qui empêche les écureuils et autres animaux de provoquer des anomalies dans les postes de distribution électrique. Les isolateurs des commutateurs et des barres omnibus sont les principaux endroits par où les petits animaux grimpent sur une structure de soutien mise à la terre au travers d'un isolateur jusqu'à un conducteur sous tension. La présente invention concerne une barrière sur les isolateurs des commutateurs et des barres omnibus qui empêche les animaux d'entrer en contact simultanément avec une structure mise à la terre et un conducteur sous tension, éliminant ainsi une voie de mise à la terre constituée par le conducteur sous tension, l'animal et la structure mise à la terre.
