Wildlife guards can be an effective means of improving reliability by preventing wildlife-caused outages, such as those caused by squirrels and birds. Ideally, a properly designed wildlife guard should last the life of the asset it is protecting. However, poorly designed wildlife guards may contribute toward reliability issues or exacerbate damage in the event of a flashover. Many utilities have experience significant line recloser damage caused by a wildlife guard that ignited during a flashover. EPRI has developed a test framework to evaluate wildlife guard performance, including its flame performance.
