Reasons for grid maintenance personnel to clean up the nest of wires

The reason why workers clear the wire bird's nest is because the bird's nest will bring serious harm to the safe operation of the power grid.

Birds are active in spring. Birds mistake telephone poles for tree poles to nest. In the process of nesting, they will use wires, branches, thatch, vines, cloth and so on to build nests. And these materials can easily cause insulator flashover, short circuit to ground and other faults, resulting in power failure accidents.

If you encounter bad weather such as strong wind and rainfall, the impact will be even greater. Therefore, power grid maintenance personnel will regularly clean the wire nest.
