XUZHOU, China, May 27, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Recently, Yin Long,
an employee of State Grid Xuzhou Power Supply Company,
installed a luminescent ceramic electrical warning sign on the 12th
tower of the 110 kV Yao Shen line.
This innovative sign illuminates autonomously at night, warning
both pedestrians and vehicles to maintain a safe distance from the
transmission line corridor, thereby mitigating the risk of
accidents.
During nighttime, visibility near power transmission lines is
significantly reduced, which increases the likelihood of incidents
such as vehicle collisions with poles or wire contacts, especially
during activities like driving, construction, or fishing.
Historically, mounting warning signs on electrical facilities and
their appendages has been a key strategy to prevent such accidents
after dark.
In response to these challenges, State Grid Xuzhou Power
Supply Company has developed a phosphorescent ceramic
electrical warning sign. Crafted from luminescent ceramic
materials, the sign integrates the warning message directly with
the body of the sign. It is designed to convert solar energy
absorbed during daylight into a heat source that emits light
throughout the night, achieving 20 minutes of energy storage during
the day and providing 12 hours of continuous luminescence after
dusk. Furthermore, the sign measures 1m x 1m and offers
a luminosity of up to 4000 millicandelas per square meter, which is
2-4 times more intense than that of standard luminescent signs.
"Going forward, we plan to enhance the durability of these signs
by applying a protective coating tailored to the specific air
pollution indices and the acidity of precipitation in different
regions. This will improve their hydrophobic and anti-pollution
properties, ensuring that the signs maintain their luminescent
efficacy throughout their 15-year lifespan," stated Yin Long, an employee at State Grid Xuzhou
Power Supply Company.
