BISG-24-01(B10)

Overview

The BISG-24-01(B10) is a cold-applied energized wildlife protection guard manufactured by TE Connectivity. Designed for overhead line applications, it provides insulation and isolation to prevent phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground faults caused by animal contact. The unit features a red color and accommodates insulator core diameters ranging from 62 mm to 125 mm (2.5 to 5.0 inches). It is supplied in standard packages of ten assemblies per box. The product is engineered to perform reliably for over 40 years without significant performance deterioration under harsh environmental conditions.

Feature Summary

• Cold-applied design allows for installation on energized lines without de-energization
• Grill-type construction enables field modifications for varying core sizes
• Insulating material isolates components to mitigate electrocution risks and fire ignition
• Engineered for long-term reliability in extreme humidity and temperature fluctuations

Applications

• Overhead power line wildlife protection
• Substation asset protection against animal interference
• Insulation of energized busbars and connectors
• Mitigation of phase-to-phase fault risks in utility environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number BISG-24-01(B10) against technical datasheets to confirm compatibility with existing insulator core diameters between 62 mm and 125 mm. Ensure the requirement for cold-applied energized installation aligns with current safety protocols. Confirm that the red color specification meets site visibility standards. Validate RoHS compliance status if required by local regulations. Cross-reference package quantities to ensure accurate inventory planning for project deployment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when addressing wildlife-induced outages on overhead lines requiring immediate energized installation. The grill-type design offers flexibility for field adjustments, making it suitable for sites with variable insulator dimensions within the specified range. Consider this solution for assets exposed to high humidity or corrosive environments where long-term durability is critical. Evaluate the need for flame performance grades if enhanced safety compliance is mandated by local codes.

Part Context

This component belongs to TE Connectivity’s Wildlife and Asset Protection Portfolio, which addresses the interaction between wildlife and electrical equipment. These solutions aim to reduce fire risks and prevent costly outages associated with animal contact. The portfolio includes various guards and insulators designed to withstand electrical stress, partial discharge, and mechanical vibration, ensuring grid resilience and protecting communities from catastrophic infrastructure failures.

Replacement Considerations

The BISG-G-24-01(B10) is listed as a related variant within the same product family. Verify dimensional compatibility and installation requirements before substitution. Ensure that any replacement maintains the cold-applied energized installation capability and covers the required insulator diameter range.
