Any species—large or small—can unintentionally touch two energized parts at once, creating a conductive path. Like this bobcat, that was apparently fleeing from a predator like a wolf or a coyote.

The result? Wildlife fatalities, outages, equipment damage, and costly downtime.

We’re proud to see our partner Jozsef Sallai representing us once again at the 71st Electrotechnical Conference from Hungary. The presence of his company #Saman underlines our shared commitment end animal-induced electrocutions in #Hungary.

Silprocoat was developed as a ready-to-use, easy-to-apply coating that helps prevent corrosion.

➡️ Heat resistance
➡️ Anti-aging properties
➡️ Protection against UV exposure
➡️ Strong adhesion

Have you encountered corroded equipment that needs protection? Let’s talk!

Shout out to Vilius Prelgauskas and his team from @balticagencyservice for representing us at Energetab in Poland this week.

We are always happy to see our brand connecting with people and our partners sharing what we do.

Weather conditions, such as rain and fog, increase the risk of electrocution for birds.

Why? Wet feathers become more conductive, allowing electricity to pass through more easily.

Knowing how and why animal electrocution happens helps us protect birds near power lines.

[Midsun IKM @MidsunIKM]

Why choose silicone over plastic covers to protect electrical assets against animal-induced outages?

✅ Dielectric strength
✅ Can withstand a wide temperature range
✅ Flexible and durable
✅ Resistant to chemicals, UV, and environmental pollutants
✅ Easy to install

💧 Why HVIC is good for Insulators?

The silicone-based coating provides hydrophobicity, meaning it causes water to form tiny droplets instead of spreading out. As these droplets can’t combine pollutants, they avoid potential leakage currents.

[Midsun IKM @MidsunIKM]

Are frogs also getting electrocuted on electrical equipment? 🐸⚡

Yes. Frog and other small animals. In this short video we explain why it happens, and what utilities are doing to prevent it.

This is a reminder of why wildlife protection is also grid protection.

[Midsun IKM @MidsunIKM]

Choosing between coated and uncoated insulators isn’t just about cost — it’s about performance, maintenance, and long-term reliability. Here’s a quick comparison.

Approximately 7,500 customers are without power due to a bird-related outage at a substation https://t.co/2MtsnscM4l

[Midsun IKM @MidsunIKM]

Our colleagues Elena and Elyes visited the vibrant country of India to collaborate on an important topic: how to prevent weather- and animal-induced flashovers in power systems. We are very grateful for the warm welcome🇮🇳🤝⚡

[Midsun IKM @MidsunIKM]

Moisture and pollutants significantly accelerate corrosion, leading to structural failures. The anticorrosive Silprocoat from @midsungroup seals surfaces, preventing exposure to harmful elements and water infiltration.

[Midsun IKM @MidsunIKM]

Systems that implement preventive maintenance can see up to a 25% increase in efficiency and a 30% reduction in unexpected failures. Include HVIC as part of that maintenance plan to avoid contamination-induced flashovers, reduce downtime and increase the productivity.

Fire in a substation in Kentucky... apparently a squirrel is to blame! https://t.co/jLwxPMS1CJ

POV: packing for a training day!

Animal-outage protective covers are useless if not correctly installed. We help teams the skills to install them properly so they can keep wildlife safe and the grid reliable. 🐿️⚡

A 20-meters-high rescue 🌿🔌
In Colombia, a sloth was found hanging dangerously close to high-voltage power lines (115,000 volts) and was rescued by a team of specialist.

🎬 We tried presenting ourselves... and this behind the scenes just captures our essence way better than any formal introduction.

Here's a little sneak peek at the fun and camaraderie that power our days when we are all together at the office 💼✨
