This document summarizes Midsun's animal protective silicone covers. Over 25% of power outages are caused by wildlife interfering with equipment. Midsun's covers are designed to insulate bare metal on electrical equipment to protect both the equipment and animals from faults. The covers install in under 2 minutes without tools and on energized equipment. Midsun offers over 100 cover products in categories like fusing tapes, insulation, preformed covers, and barriers to prevent animal-related outages.

The
Problem
Birds, cats, rats, snakes and even squirrels are all capable of causing power outages.
These occur when animals cause a phase to phase or phase-to-ground fault with their
body, often having painful and deadly consequences for the creatures itself.
Over 25% of all power outages are caused by wildlife and vegetation interfering with
electrical equipment.

4. The
Solution
The best solution to ensure the protection of the equipment and power lines,
as well as the animals, is to insulate the bare metalwork and create an
environment for wildlife to roam substations and overhead lines without
damaging themselves or the equipment.
Midsun’s silicone extruded and moulded covers, are designed for electrical
substations, transmission and distribution lines to protect rail, data centers,
OP&G, solar and wind farms.

10. Products
Variety
We provide + 100 different silicone tubes, tapes, sheets, preformed covers,
barriers which provide a solution to bird, animal and weather-related
outages. The categories are:
 E/Fusing tapes
 E/insulation
 E/Silicone Covers
 E/Barriers
 E/Accesories

11. E/Fusing Tapes
Our self-fusing silicone tapes form
a void-free electrical insulation
protection system when applied
to any connector, bus, or cable.
They provide between 15kV and
30kV phase-to-ground insulation
rating.

12. E/Insulation
These tubes or silicone sleeves are
used to protect a variety of
distribution and substation
equipment at 20 kV phase-to-
ground. The E/Insulation is
manufactured with a split seam to
allow for an easy application
without the need of breaking
electrical connections.

13. E/Silicone
Covers
Our silicone covers are designed to
protect the connections in all forms
and sizes. Unlike other plastic
solutions, you can make modifications
to our covers to make an optimal fit.
They all offer up to 25 kV phase-to-
ground insulation.

14. E/Barriers
Our barriers were created to block
animals from climbing and
nesting and therefore contacting
phase-to-ground conductors.
They are made out of
polycarbonate thermoplastic.

15. E/Accesories
These includes push pins, tie
wraps and animal control strips
that will help complement our
products or offer extra protection
to prevent animals from climbing
over substations.
