Outdoor Boots

Phoenix has developed a unique range of reusable form fitting insulating boots for outdoor open terminal equipment providing protection against animal related outages for use on service voltages in the range to 38kV.

Consumer tolerance for outages has lowered in recent years, with an increased expectation of zero interruption and appropriate guarantees from utilities. Research shows that supply authorities who invest in animal control programs that encapsulate vulnerable areas of their systems can meet these increased customer demands. Additionally there are obvious benefits for the utilities – continuity of supply and reduced equipment damage.

Recognizing that it is impossible to keep wildlife off outdoor electrical equipment, the installation of insulated cover up is the logical step to combat this invasion of the system. An extensive range of form fitting reusable boots is available to encapsulate every conceivable termination or connection.
