Germany, Ottobrunn, TE Connectivity (TE) has announced its Wildlife and Asset Protection solutions suite for the power sector.
The suite is intended for further reduction of fire risks caused by wildlife coming into contact with power transmission systems.
The company has worked together with utility owners in a joint effort to develop a strategic plan for replacing, retrofitting or upgrading their most imperilled assets and boosting insulation through the power grid based on a structured risk assessment.
The solutions are designed with innovative V0+ materials science formulation, which provides excellent tracking and erosion resistance testing (TERT) performance and proven longevity.
“TE Connectivity’s Raychem Wildlife and Asset Protection portfolio is designed and optimized to achieve over 40 years in service, taking into account UV ageing, thermal endurance, and heat resistance while ensuring optimal tracking resistance,” says Brian McGowan, Global Wildlife and Asset Protection manager at TE. “For utility owners and operators, this gives them lasting confidence that our solutions will outperform the assets they are protecting.”
