The Preformed Line Products SWAN-FLIGHT Diverter is designed for use on overhead conductors to create greater visibility for avian flight paths on overhead lines and tower down guys. Offering little wind resistance, it reduces hazards to both lines and birds. For low and medium voltage construction, apply the SWAN-FLIGHT Diverter to phase conductors (bare or jacketed). For high voltages, it is typically used on shield wire.
Description
Materials
Manufactured from rigid high impact polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the SWAN-FLIGHT Diverter possesses excellent chemical resistance, strength properties and will retain good physical characteristics within a range of extreme temperatures. Industrial fumes and salt water cannot seriously degrade the properties of rigid PVC.
Spacing
For optimal results, spacing distances are generally recommended at 15′ intervals,depending upon local conditions. Since wind resistance is very limited, sufficient SWAN-FLIGHT Diverters can be used to ensure adequate visibility without creating stresses on the line. When marking adjacent spans, overall visibility is improved by staggering the placement between the spans.
Features
SWAN-FLIGHT Diverters are designed to offer the following advantages:
– Increased conductor profile to provide increased visibility where large, slow moving bird flight paths are present.
– Economical and easily applied.
– Lightweight.
– Long service life without deterioration of material properties.
– Minimal wind resistance.
– Manufactured from gray or yellow high impact PVC with UV protection.
Visibility
The diverter section increases the visible profile of the cable or conductor to ensure safety, but avoids an undesirable bulky outline.
Application
Ensure the correct size SWAN-FLIGHT Diverter is used. For detailed installation description, refer to the application procedure. Hot stick application is fast and simple with standard equipment.
