Critter Guard – Distinctly Different Animal Mitigation
Watch the presentation on YouTube
There seem to be about as many animal guards/deterrents on the market as there are different types of electrical equipment and different animal types. Each size & voltage rating of common components such as bushings, insulators, terminals, bus-bars, transformers, switches, reclosers, etc. require a different type or size of cover or guard. That's a lot to keep track of when specifying an animal mitigation product. This presentation will provide a distinctly different approach, from Critter Guard, that's been extremely successful in preventing animal access while offering a more standardized solution.

A New Way to Deal With High Moisture in Your GIS - Welcome to Online SF6 Dehydration
Watch the presentation on YouTube
Pure SF6 is an excellent insulator in electric switchgears, but humidity in the gas decreases its insulating ability and can also result in very harmful decomposition products for humans, machinery, and the environment. New technologies now allow for an alternative to traditional methods, offering the option to drying gas while the equipment remains online.
This presentation looks at a revolutionary process where with little to no downtime or human interaction, gas is extracted from the equipment and dried, while harmful by-products are also removed. The results of several case studies and field tests will be shown, which will cover aspects such as efficiency, safety, environmental aspects and economic impacts.

SDT Ultrasound Solutions
Ultrasound for Electrical Power Reliability
Watch the presentation on YouTube
Unreliable electric power systems not only cost millions of dollars in downtime and repairs, they have the potential to maim and kill. Reliability leadership must focus on the preservation of both physical and human assets. Because everyone has the right to a safe work environment and to return home unharmed.
Allan is going to talk about how ultrasound helps with electric power reliability. His presentation will cover
- What is ultrasound?
- What is PD?
- What are the consequences when PD is not detected and remediated on time?
- What are the risks of doing nothing?
- How ultrasound helps
- Product demonstration
