Patent

CA 2220032

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 se rapporte à un écran (702) qui empêche les écureuils ou autres animaux d'occasionner des défaillances dans les postes d'alimentation. Les isolateurs de commutateur et de bus sont les premier points de contact lorsqu'un petit animal passe par un isolateur pour aller d'une structure support mise à la terre vers un conducteur sous tension (740). On décrit un écran qui, placé sur les isolateurs de commutateur et de bus (736), empêche les animaux d'entrer en contact simultané avec une structure mise à la terre et un conducteur sous tension, et permet d'éviter la formation d'un trajet de mise à la terre allant du conducteur sous tension vers la structure mise à la terre (738) et passant par le corps de l'animal.
