__________
How to get from Versus to With? Offering discussions & willingness to listen (both parties)
Importance of PR value (at electrical utilities) Financial support (to electrical utilities)
Personal interest: • Bird protection activist getting knowledge in electrical distribution
industry
• Electrical engineer getting knowledge in bird protection specifics.
Coordination with repair and retrofit projects (at electrical utilities)
Available products offering ADVANTAGE instead of asking for for COMPROMISE

__________
The right commitment
More and more players in
Hungary (Manufacturers,
R&D companies, Electrical
companies) believe that there
must exist solutions that
satisfy both the network
owners and the bird
protection associations. Yes, there ARE!

__________
Dilemma: See-through network or bird protection? It might be difficult to choose:
Being able to perform visual
inspection from the ground
OR
increase bird safety by covering the insulators?
Compromise is
needed from the
network owner!

By covering the corssarms the number of bird
electrocution didn’t decrease considerably.
Moreover, many of such covers fell off.

There ARE good solutions!
The goal is to offer
products to network
owners that
decrease bird-
mortality WITHOUT
asking to make
compromises!

Hybrid arrangement crossarm • Respects safety distances set by
network owners and bird protection associations
• Middle phase on standing insulator, side phases on hanging insulators.
• Maw weight of one element: 6 kgs. No need for crane to install.
• Bird rest installed to avoid bird excrement to deteriorate insulator or connections.
• Mounting using holes in „Y” direction: old crossarm is dismounted only after installation of new crossarm is done.
• Answering an existing need of the utilities for flexible network AND bird-safety…without compromise
