March to June each year is the breeding season of the Oriental stork, which is also in the power grid spring maintenance period. At this time of the year, including the Oriental stork, many birds will make their homes on the line towers, its title to the wire, branches, if they fall, it is likely to trigger the insulator flashover, resulting in a short circuit tripping.
This type of power failure caused by birds is called a "bird-wading failure". In order to avoid bird-related faults, we can install bird-repellent spikes on the tower. ZQN-GT-NC is made up of 25 stainless steel wires, each wire is made into a spiral, with elasticity. When birds try to land on it, these steel wires will bounce the birds away from it, making it impossible for them to stand still. Without a stable place to land, the birds will naturally not move around the area.
In terms of material and process, the power transmission line bird repellent spikes adopt high-quality stainless steel wire and hot-dip galvanising process to ensure that it is corrosion-resistant, not easy to rust, and durable, will not be easily damaged, and can be used for a long time in the outdoor tower environment.
Practical application has proved that the effect of bird spikes is very significant. In the area of frequent bird activities, after the installation of bird repellent spikes, the phenomenon of bird nesting and stay greatly reduced, line failure rate caused by bird activities also significantly reduced, reducing the occurrence of power outages. This not only improves the reliability of the grid, but also reduces maintenance costs.
In conclusion, although bird-repellent spikes look simple, they play an important role in ensuring the safe operation of power grids. In the future, with the progress of technology, there will be more efficient and environmentally friendly bird protection measures, but bird repellent spikes are still one of the most important means to prevent bird damage in the power industry.
