WILDLIFE PROTECTION
The Balmoral™ Wildlife Protection products includes unique products purpose designed to prevent outages and protect wildlife from power lines and equipment. Every year, there is a huge cost in mortalities and injuries of wildlife including endangered species. On top of this, there are the potential for shutdowns and outages which can cause costly repair bills and loss of power to consumers and businesses. Wildlife routinely climb or perch on overhead Power Lines and can frequently bridge between phases or across a potential voltage difference causing electrocution and fault protection on the circuit. Balmoral™ range of products can help prevent this.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
There are three main categories of products under the wildlife protection space. Bird Diverters, Animal Deterrents and physical barriers. Bird Diverters act as a pure visual warning. They do not scare away birds, rather, they seek to make the bird aware of the structure onto which the Bird Diverter is attached. This allows the bird to make an evasive maneuver mid-flight. Animal deterrents seek to actually repel the bird or animal. This is achieved through any number of means, however, typically via sight or sound. Physical barriers as the name suggest, block the ability for the animal to make direct contract with the energised part.
Extensive laboratory testing plus decades of field based use and experience have refined these products to the highest levels. Trusted for use by utility companies throughout the world, you can depend on the levels of engineering expertise and the ISO standards the manufacturing plant employs to ensure robust quality and longevity in the field.
Wildlife protection products are not necessarily designed to insulate. However, they may be made from plastics that have native insulating properties.
It is key for products designed to go onto power lines to maintain a minimal weight profile. Weight can directly impact the sag and clearances of power lines. It can also affect the loading dynamics sustained by the line. As an example, the Balmoral Bird Blocker, has a weight of around 110 grams each.
