Overview

Our Raychem BISG Bus Insulators Animal Guard prevents squirrels, raccoons, opossums, cats, and other animals to climb in substations. These guards have been designed to provide the same great protection with added features. Its “invisible” design allows easier visibility of switchblades and other equipment components through the guard. This new design allows for easy field modifications and can be reduced by trimming along the grill ribs for tight phase-to-phase insulator applications.
