Abstract: The present disclosure provides a wildlife guard for electrical power equipment including an electrically insulating material with a conductive material in quantity sufficient for the guard to maintain an electrostatic charge. The present disclosure also provides a wildlife deterrent for an electrically conductive equipment comprising a tape having a first non-electrically conductive layer with an adhesive thereon for attaching the tape to the equipment and a second electrically conductive layer with attached to the first layer for maintaining an electrostatic charge.

Abstract: A wildlife guard for electrical power equipment including a body constructed to mount onto the equipment. The body has an electrically conductive layer thereon. The electrically conductive layer comprises an electrically insulating material with a conductive filler material in quantity sufficient for the guard to maintain an electrostatic charge. The electrically conductive layer is bonded to the body by over-molding or co-molding techniques. The electrically conductive layer can be continuous or can be discrete segments separated by non-conductive segments. The body can be constructed from a conductive or non-conductive material.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a wildlife guard for electrical power equipment including a disc having a central opening for fitting onto the equipment. The disc includes an electrically insulating material with a conductive filler material in quantity sufficient for the disc to maintain an electrostatic charge. The disc has an insertion slot extending from an outer portion to the central opening for movement of the disc onto the equipment. The present disclosure also provides a wildlife guard for an electrical insulator bushing having an electrical conductor extending outwardly therefrom. The wildlife guard includes an electrically nonconductive cover for covering at least a portion of the electrical conductor, the cover being adapted to mount upon the bushing and a conductive panel attached to the cover.
