Hot Installation:
ZAPshield can be installed hot without requiring a downtime. The tools that can be used to do the installation can include a Shotgun Stick, a Universal Tool Pliers, or a Rauckman exclusive W-100 Universal Tool. See the pictures below for examples.
How It Works:
The ZAPshield animal mitigation device utilizes Rauck-Shock Technology™. ZAPshield is an animal mitigation barrier device that delivers a non-lethal electrostatic discharge when contacted by an animal. The types of animals that infiltrate utility equipment vary from region to region. The squirrel continues to be the #1 culprit with snakes and birds not far behind.
The shields use the patent pending Rauck-Shock Technology™ engineered polymer to minimizes the occurrences of animal-related electric service interruptions. The polymer has numerous tiny filaments that act as many capacitors that pick up a collective charge from the live transformer bushing.
