WHAT IS TRANSGARD?
TransGard is an ANIMAL DETERRENT SYSTEM designed to stop animals such as squirrels, raccoons and snakes from intruding into sensitive utility substation areas. Power outages triggered by these critters can be widespread and extremely costly, and damages can run into tens of thousands of dollars, occurring not only to substation equipment, but also to customers’ computers and electrical appliances. It is estimated that squirrels and other animals cause more than 90% of all power outages, with that figure on the rise as civilization encroaches upon the animals’ natural habitat.
Enter TransGard, the ONLY system specifically designed and engineered to STOP intrusive ground-climbing animals.
TransGard Systems are COST-EFFECTIVE. Even one outage prevented can easily recoup the cost of the system. The systems are modular, user-friendly, EASY TO INSTALL, and require NO POWER OUTAGE during installation. Units are weather resistant and virtually maintenance-free, and fit in with other substation equipment both functionally and aesthetically. Options are available for various climatic and soil conditions, such as hurricane-prone areas.
TransGard is SAFE for humans and animals. TransGard Systems are placed inside existing chain-link perimeters, assuring an animal-free enclosure, and providing an additional level of substation SECURITY. Elimination of animal-caused power outages means increased RELIABILITY for your customers and cost savings for you. Best of all, TransGard is PROVEN effective, with no instances of animal-caused power outages to date.
PROTECT your substation or facility with TransGard. You can't afford not to.
