Wildlife Guards

Prolec Celeco® wild life guards prevent outages caused by wildlife contact to exposed bushings and surge arresters on overhead distribution transformers. This prevention is achieved by covering the high voltage terminals on the bushings and surge arresters, preventing accidental contact by animals. 

The contact risk points on surge arresters and bushings are typically from a phase-to-ground contact. By covering these contacts, the contact risk is reduced.
