Warning light connection for power transmission pylons - uses discharge lamp mounted atop pylon and supplied from tapping on capacitive divider chain between cable and pylon

摘要

The warning lamps are fitted to the top of high voltage towers one terminal connected to earth. The voltage to drive these discharge type lamps is obtained either by fitting a capacitor divider chain between the high voltage cable (C1)and the arm of the tower and connecting a cable to the lamp from a fuitable tapping point along the chain formed by the chain of dielectric insulators from which are suspended the cables. affect of the insulators produces sufficient power. Alternatively, capacitative elements may be added to the pylon solely for the purpose of illumination.
