1 PREFORMED LINE PRODUCTS Wildlife Product Initiatives By: Mark R. Burns Market Manager Utility Distribution Preformed Line Products November 20, 2013

2 Why cover your Conductor Support?

3 Why worry about Avian Electrocution? The landmark case of the U.S. versus Moon Lake Electric Association, Inc Found guilty of violating the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA). Ordered to pay $100,000 in fines and restitution Mandated to retrofit all of their lines with bird-safety devices Case has raised the awareness of the electrocution issue Sent a strong message: The MBTA is violated if bird deaths were foreseeable, even if unintentional. Electrocution is unintentional but foreseeable. Utilities must be proactive!!

4 And the Cost of Doing Nothing Continues to Increase PacifiCorp, a MidAmerican Holdings Company, Pleads Guilty of Violating the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA). Probe in 2007 found excessive eagle mortalities linked to PacifiCorp electrical equipment in Wyoming. Ordered to pay $510,000 in criminal fines and an additional $900,000 in restitution and is on probation till 2014 Mandated to spend $9.1 million to repair or replace equipment to protect migratory birds from electrocution in Wyoming The message has again been repeated by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service: Utilities must be proactive!! Because Electrocution is foreseeable. And the death of birds by electrocution is a violation of the MBTA.

5 Wildlife Protection A Family of Products 1. BIRD-FLIGHT Diverters 2. SWAN-FLIGHT Diverters 3. RAPTOR PROTECTOR 4. Perch Deterrents

6 Wildlife Protection Flight Diverters Diverter Developments: Swan-Flight Diverters Investigating Luminescent Option Standard Gray, Yellow, Orange Providing Larger Coils on Standard Designs EHV Design Ice/Wind Loading Review Underway Engineering in High Temperature Version Now Available Manufacturing Efficiency Improvements Underway Bird-Flight Diverters Standard Gray and Yellow EHV Design High Temperature Design

7 Tangent Single and Double Insulator Cover RAPTOR PROTECTOR Provides protection against incidental contact, reducing avian fatalities and line outages Universal insulator head style for C, F, and J neck and will fit many K-neck insulators Covers only the insulator head and not the skirts Singular design covers single and double tangent supports Single support version provides for up to a 15 of vertical or horizontal turning angle

8 Expansion of the RAPTOR PROTECTOR Cover New designs address: greater turning angle on single tie top insulators horizontal post insulator with trunnion clamp vertical post insulator with trunnion clamp or polymer vise top insulators Dead-ends/Terminations

9 Single tie top insulator turning angles from 0 to 30 RPC-0810 (Black) RPC-0811 (Gray) Tangent Tie Top Heavy Turning Angle Cover Horizontal or Vertical Angle Changes Multiple Hot Stick Loop positions

10 Horizontal Post Insulator Cover Front 2D View RPC-0820 (Black) RPC-0821 (Gray) Rear View

11 Vertical Post Insulator - Trunnion Clamp and Polymer Vise-Top Insulator Cover RPC-0830 (Black) RPC-0831 (Gray)

12 RAPTOR PROTECTOR Dead-end Black Color RPC-0840B-0295 RPC-0840B-0400 RPC-0840B-0540 RPC-0840B-0730 Gray Color RPC-0840G-0295 RPC-0840G-0400 RPC-0840G-0540 RPC-0840G-0730 Small Conductors Large Conductors Black Color RPC-0850B-0730 RPC-0850B-0920 RPC-0850B-1100 RPC-0850B-1300 Gray Color RPC-0850G-0730 RPC-0850G-0920 RPC-0850G-1100 RPC-0850G-1300

13 Expanding Wildlife Protection Perching Deterrents for Crossarm Structures No Tools Required No Attachment Hardware Self Locking Covers all Standard Tangent Crossarms Heavy Duty Dead-end in Development I-Beam Versions Designed

14 Expanding Wildlife Protection Perching Deterrents for Lattice Structures Multiple Orientations Multiple sizes

15 Expanding Wildlife Protection Perching Deterrents for Dimensional Steel C-Channel Davit Arms

16 Conclusion The Migratory Bird Treaty Act requires the protection of practically all avian species. Requires that utilities add animal protection to lines being constructed with federal dollars. Governmental regulation and pressure from environmental groups for animal friendly systems have created a high demand for protection products.

17 Conclusion Punitive fines require utilities to do something to address animal fatalities. System complexity results in a need for many different types of solutions. PLP offers products that are industry accepted and field proven. PLP is actively expanding animal protection offerings for needed applications.
