The
Problem
Animals climb around substations and birds perch on transformers seeking a safe, warm
place to shelter and nest. Over 25% of all power outages are caused by wildlife and
vegetation interfering with electrical equipment.
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.

13. 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.
E/Products, our 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.

25. RepsolYPF
Spain
Location:A substation in the middle of a forest in
Tarragona,Spain
Problem: A civet cat was looking for warmth and food
caused an explosion and damaged the transformer,
causing 5 millions lost in repair costs.
Solution:We decided to use silicone covers, sleeves
and sheets to deliver a definitive wildlife protection.
Since then, maintenance costs were significantly
reduced and there hasn't been animal-related
incidents again.

28. ABB
Hungary
Location: the medium voltage system of a wind farm
in the town of Szigetvár, Hungary.
Problem: several power outages caused by eagles,
owls and other birds bridging with sectos switches.
Solution: we used E/Silicone sleeves and
E/Termination covers. Since the installation, there has
not been any power outages or animal deaths
reported.

30. 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

31. E/FusingTapes
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.

32. 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.

33. 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.

34. 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.

35. 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.
