Bird Protection Devices for Overhead Lines of Anti-Perching Type ZP-APK

ZP-APK devices are designed to prevent insulator contamination by bird droppings and to protect birds from electric shock on overhead power lines (OHL) with voltages ranging from 6 to 750 kV. They deter birds from perching on the crossarm near insulator attachments, reducing the risk of insulator flashover due to fecal streams.

Design and Features

  • Material: Made from weather-resistant plastic, durable against ultraviolet radiation and atmospheric precipitation. They operate effectively within a temperature range of -60 °C to +50 °C.
  • Mounting: The universal clamp-type attachment allows installation on horizontal or vertical crossarm flanges, accommodating the full range of angle section sizes used.
  • Safety: The design is safe for birds and complies with the requirements of STO 34.01-2.2-011-2015 of PJSC "Rosseti". Manufactured according to TU 3449-001-52819896-2013.
  • Additional Options: Can be equipped with an image of a predatory bird to create a deterrent effect.
