How effective is a wire strike protection installation when a helicopter flies into a power line or telephone line at speed?

What are the general limitations of such systems eg, max wire thickness?

Does anyone perhaps have photos of a helicopter that survived such an incident?

Im actually looking for photos of helicopters that have had WSPS installed, and then had an incident where the system worked as intended.

The pix on those two links and most of the ones I can find appears to relate to accidents without WSPS.

Thanks for any help!
