Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: How does Greenjacket provide protection from animal-caused outages?
A: Greenjacket covers are made of a highly dielectric material that prevents contact between animals and electrical system components, preventing faults in electrical distribution systems.

Q: What are the competitive advantages of Greenjacket?
A: Advantages include:
  • Site Assessments made by power industry experts.
  • Custom-developed Site Protection Plans, resulting in the right protection, in the right place, on the right equipment.
  • Integrated solutions that protect all key equipment. Cantega manufactures stock covers to protect a wide range of components. Custom covers are also developed as needed.
  • Complete Installation Instruction packages.
  • Greenjacket covers are quick and easy to install.
  • You can install your own covers and/or request installation guidance and training.
Q: What’s so critical about the fit? Why would a few gaps or holes matter?
A: Where there’s a gap or hole, there is a risk of contact. Holes and gaps provide nesting opportunities, and nests can attract predators. Inquisitive animals can make contact via small exposed surface areas.

Q: What is the Greenjacket material made of?
A: Greenjacket covers are made of a dielectric elastomeric polyurethane material.

Q: Why are your covers green?
A: Green was chosen because of its aesthetic appeal to our customers. On request, large-scale orders of other colours are available. Please call to inquire.

Q: How do Greenjacket covers affect our ability to IR scan bolted connections?
A: IR scanning is easily performed through Greenjacket covers. Cantega is developing an online presentation on this topic, to be added to the website in late 2009.

Q: Does installing Greenjacket covers reduce the current-carrying capacity of conductors?
A: Test results show that installing Greenjacket covers does not reduce the current-carrying capacity of conductors. Full test results are available on request. (Note that test results apply to the use of Greenjacket only; results do not address the effects that may result from using the various brands of conductor cover in combination with Greenjacket.)
   
Q: Can your covers be installed on energized equipment?
A: Covers can be installed on energized equipment using conventional live-line methods that follow all safety and industry standards.

Q: Do I order covers from Cantega or 3M?
A: All orders for Greenjacket are placed through 3M Canada

Q: How do we install grounds after cover-up has been installed?
A: During the installation process, coverup is placed so that a ground position is always left open to allow worker access. 

Q: What results have been obtained with Greenjacket?
A: Cantega is currently compiling aggregate data regarding system performance improvements. Results will be posted shortly. 

Q: What are delivery times?
A: Although delivery times are generally 4 weeks for stock covers and 4-6 weeks for custom covers, Cantega warehouses many stock items and can often provide faster delivery. Initial discussions for your project will include an estimated delivery time. A delivery date will be agreed on when your order is finalized. Cantega is proud to report that in 2008, we fulfilled our customers'  trust by delivering 100% of orders on or before the promised delivery date.
