Birds use overhead power lines poles as: observation points, hideouts, places to rest or to build nests. Lines with a voltage of 15, 20 and 30 kV, popularly known as MV lines, due to their design pose the greatest threat to them. The Polish Society for the Protection of Birds (Polskie Towarzystwo Ochrony Ptaków - PTOP) recommends the use of electrical insulating separators manufactured by Hubix sp. z o.o. as an effective method of limiting the mortality of birds with large body sizes on electrical insulating overhead LV and MV lines.

BPS ON THE POWER LINES The BPS is designed to fill the space between the insulators, making it difficult sitting on the construction elements of MV line poles: crosspieces, connectors as well as at overhead stations. The uninsulated cables on these structures are routed above the head of the pole, which means that birds landing on them may have direct contact with live cables and, at the same time, with earthed metal supporting structures. This creates favorable conditions for the electric current to flow through the bird’s body and, as a result, its death. BPS protects birds against electrocution....

N-type BPS (umbrella-shaped variant, bars angled downwards). Designed for installation on low voltage power line poles, after removing bird nests from them. BPS-N prevents the birds from rebuilding nests on these poles. It is attached with bands (bands are not included in the set). BPS type A (variant in the shape of St. Andrew’s cross, rods inclined up and down). Used to protect birds against electric shock on medium voltage overhead line connectors. BPS-A prevents larger birds from sitting on the above-mentioned devices by building up the free space between the bridges. Thus, BPS-A protects...

M222.B0XX M223.B0XX BPS type B (horizontal beam with vertical bars up). Used to protect birds against electric shock on the cross members of medium voltage overhead lines. BSP-B prevents larger birds from sitting on the cross-arms of poles in both the flat and triangular configuration. BPS-B protects them against lethal threat and at the same time prevents line shutdowns caused by bird infestation (when ordering, the size of the clamp mounted to the structure is required - Table 1). beam length Other dimensions available on request. Clamps for mounting BPS on structures. Standard dimensions of...

The stork is a rather “reticent” bird. The most known noise it makes is a clatter produced by beak snapping. In addition, adult birds sometimes hiss, but it is a quiet sound that is hardly audible to humans
