S&C Omni-Rupter®Switches

Outdoor Distribution (14.4 kV and 25 kV)

Optional Wildlife Protection

Wildlife Protection Option

Birds and tree squirrels are a leading cause of short-term

unexplained outages on distribution systems. To address

this problem, S&C is pleased to introduce a wildlife

protection option for manually operated Omni-Rupter

Switches in the upright mounting configurations. The

new option effectively prevents animals from making

phase-to-grounded part contact.

Unique Design Prevents Animal-Intrusion-Related

Outages

The key to the wildlife protection option is its unique

angled wildlife discs that cover the bases of the support

insulators—providing an excellent barrier between the

energized and grounded parts of the switch. These discs

snap together without tools, and fit both Cypoxy®and

porcelain insulators. The wildlife discs are made of a

durable, flexible, UV-stabilized polycarbonate material—

the same material S&C has used on distribution fuse

rain caps for over 20 years. The sloped construction

of the discs provides an uneven foothold for climbing

and perching animals, while shedding ice and rain. The

steep slope of the discs also deters nest building under

energized parts of the switch. The wildlife discs float

on the insulators and have no effect on their insulation

characteristics, but attach securely enough to avoid spin-

ning or movement during high winds.

In addition to the wildlife discs, the wildlife protection

option includes insulated covers for the switch base. The

option also comes with a fiberglass interphase operating

rod, to further eliminate the possibility of phase-to-

grounded part contact by wildlife.

Retrofit Installed Switches

Wildlife protection is retrofittable to all installed Omni-

Rupter Switches in the upright mounting configuration.

The unique “snap-fit” design of the discs allows the pro-

tection system to be installed with the switch on

the pole . . . only a brief outage must be taken. No

tools are required. And no disassembly of switch

parts is needed. An easy to install insulating cover is

used for already-installed switches that wraps securely

around the interphase operating pipe.
