INSULATION ENHANCEMENT PRODUCTS

Gala Insulation Enhancement Products 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 enter 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 airborne 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.

Gala Insulation Enhancement Products (IEP) are the combination of Heat Shrinkable Tubes, Tapes, Sheets & Preformed components which are having the following Features & Benefits:

Overhead Line Cover:

Insulcover is a 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-tracking Cross-linked Polyolefin material. Gala Overhead Line Covers can be used in many applications upto 66 kV.

Insulcover is designed to insulate existing bare lines without costly conductor replacement expenditure or additional line hardware.

Installation is easy by using the Split Insulation Tube Tool which remains stationary at single location.

Overhead Line Tube:

Overhead Line Tube is a Medium Voltage Line Cover that provides 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-Tracking Polyolefin material.

Overhead Line Cover - Silicone:

• 
• 

Gala Silicon Overhead Line Covers are made from high quality non-tracking silicon rubber that are designed for field installation over bare conductors. These covers provide a layer of electrical insulation for Phase-to-Phase and Phase- to-Ground protection from bird and animals. The GSOC provides electrical insulation, UV resistance and tracking resistance.

Provides Insulation Enhancement upto 765 kV

Bus Connection Insulating Covers (Reusable):

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.
