Lighting Using

Current Transformer

This innovation is a kind of lighting that is installed on mid-voltage
power lines to supply lighting for public routes and roads. More-
over, the innovation is small in dimensions, has low weight, and is
in the form of a clamp.
The reason for creating this kind of lighting was that most inter-
city roads utilize the high voltage power system with 20 kV at the
roadsides to supply the needed power in these areas, and most
of them don’t have enough lighting. And because of the high cost
of construction, repair, and maintenance of the low-voltage power
network, these lights can be installed directly on the high-voltage
power cables and provide the needed lighting for the roads.
Establishing this kind of viewpoint assisted the elimination of many
attached parts to lower the cost and decrease the global warming
caused by manufacturing these parts. Moreover, using this inno-
vation can reduce the initial cost of providing lights for roads and
lower electrical losses, meaning that many roads that are danger-
ous to drive at night can be safe now. Lastly, in this process, this
innovation has had the chance to obtain a national patent for this
design in Iran and become an official member of IFIA, INV. Plus, in
2014, at IFIA’s invention event in Iran, a silver medal was achieved
in electrical engineering. And in 2021, at the invention fair of Tur-
key, this innovation was granted a WIPO medal.

Why is this innovation eligible to receive the IIS certification?
This innovation can use the global recognition of the IFIA Innova-
tion Standard Certificate to present many of the good aspects of
this creation to the world and help them reduce energy loss on a
worldwide scale. Some of the advantages of this innovation:
1.All costs relating to low voltage network construction for provid-
ing light, such as lowering transformers, lighting poles and bases,
low voltage cables, and network installations, are reduced at least
75 percent.
2.Moreover, by using this innovation, you can reduce energy loss-
es such as cable ohm and transformer loss.
3.Plus, you can utilize this creation in places where deploying low
voltage power is impossible, such as mountains or villages.
4.his innovation can be easily installed without interrupting the
power network, and by removing the low voltage network, we
can maintain the beauty of our cities.
5.A heat sink is installed to prevent heat damage to the wire and
the lamp because the lamp’s temperature is about 30 to 40 Cel-
sius.
6.Last but not least, one of the astonishing aspects of this cre-
ation is that the brightness, angle, direction, and focal length are
adjustable.
