Powering an obstraction light on a distribution structure.
Powering an obstraction light on a distribution structure.
(OP)
What is the simplest (cheapest) way to power an obstruction light on top of a 33-kV distribution structure? Most of the structures do not have a transformer on them.
Thank You
Thank You

A PV install offhand seems like it could get pricey with a wide-temp battery set, charging control and PV array. It may be worth soliciting a quote, provided requirements are well understood.
I know of one attractive neon clearance beacon that is electrostatically powered by 230kV line proximity. Its cadence is a bit neurotic, so very unavoidable. I don’t know if it has required significant maintenance over the last ~25 years of operation. Accessibility looks a bit inconvenient, but it appears the power source has remained the same.
