Overhead Lines due to Birdstrike |
This innovative device consists of
bright orange disc swinging from a snap clamp which is fitted to
conductors with a hot stick from the ground. Birds detect the movement
and colour and veer away preventing outages due to bird strike. They
have been in use inEurope& USA 17
years and for10 years in NZ & Australia. They fit any size
conductor or aerial bundled cable.

The bird flight diverters are
designed to prevent strikes of large and small birds but are
especially effective with large fast birds such as swans.In early morning light some power
lines are hard to see and the movement of the diverter in the
wind is detected by birds. Once in position the diverter will
not slide down the line and as it weighs only 160 gm does not
affect sag. As the roundel swings out in a strong wind it
produces very little windage (see below)
