Insulation Enhancement Products
Gala Insulation Cover Product such as Heat Shrinkable Tubes, Tapes, Sheets, Pre-moulded Protection Covers, etc. Provide a long term, cost effective and easy to install retrofit solution to eliminate power outages caused by bird and animals.
Electrical Distribution equipment with bare bus bars, conductors and connections is always at risk to having phases or phase to ground accidentally bridged As well as the obvious problems caused to the network, such events can also endanger protected wildlife. Birds and animals often enters substations and interfere with overhead lines causing faults by bridging air clearances
Substation equipment is vulnerable to flashovers caused by accidental bridging of phases, or phase to earth. Usually made by birds, animals, vegetation or airbone debris, flashovers can be very expensive in terms of damage to equipment, reduced reliability and in some cases even electrocution of protected species. Almost any event of this nature can be prevented by insulating the strategically Vulnerable bare metalwork with a combination of Gala Insulation Enhancement Products.

Insulcover is a Medium Voltage Wrap Around Line Cover that provides retrofit insulation for overhead conductors to help prevent electrical outages caused by trees or wildlife coming into the contact with distribution lines.It is manufactured from high quality Non racking Cross-linked Polyolefin material.
Insulcover is designed to insulate existing bare lines without costly conductor replacement expenditure or additional line hardware. Installation is possible on energized lines.
Bus Tape is heat shrinkable tape specifically designed for insulating and protecting medium voltage Bus Bar Connections, where tubing can not be used. It is very conformable, tough, waterproof tape with special adhesive coating which bonds well to most surfaces over a wide range of temperature.
Gala Bus Connection Insulating covers are designed to protect energized conductors or busbar from flashovers due to contact from birds, squirrels and other wildlife. GPFIC parts are made from a UV stable, track resistant, high performance material to ensure years of reliable service.
Gala Bus Connection Insulating covers are designed to protect energized conductors or busbar from flashovers due to contact from birds, squirrels and other wildlife. GPFIC parts are made from a UV stable, track resistant, high performance material to ensure years of reliable service.
A variety of different shapes and sizes are available to cover circuit breaker bushings, bus standoff insulators, capacitors, transformer bushings, voltage regulators, potential transformers and more. Installation can be made quickly in the field by trimming the entry and exit holes to the required dimensions . The GPFIC covers can be re-entered for other maintenance needs and then reused, thus lowering overall lifetime costs.
By using a combination of products distribution towers can be protected from flashovers and outages caused by birds. Can reduce the number of incidents and save protected wildlife. Regardless of the applications it is possible to create a Gala Insulation Enhancement solution for any accidental contacts or bridging problem.
Transmission Line Flashover and Birdage Protection Cover (Reusable):
The Transmission Flash-over Protection Cover provides protection from raptor induced flash-overs on transmission lines. As the cover is made of High quality cross-linked polyolefin material can be used on both porcelain disc and polymeric insulator designs.
Bird Protection Cap (Reusable):
The Bird Protection Cap protects birds and other animals from live conductors mounted on metal . The flexible polymer means that most configurations of conductor attachment are easily accommodated. Installation is very simple, and tool-free.
High-voltage Insulator Protection Cover (Reusable):
High-voltage Insulator Protection Cover protects against bird streamer caused outages. There are designs to fit both porcelain bells and polymeric insulators. This two piece shield attaches easily with plastic bolts and nuts around the top of the insulator and provides protection from fecal contaminates coming from above the insulator string. For porcelain applications there are 18 inch and 24 inch diameter shield designs. For polymeric applications the shield has an 18 inch diameter.
