Abstract
The invention relates to a power cable which comprises a central filler region (13) containing at least one conductor element (10), and additionally comprises at least one strip (16) arranged in said central filler region (13) in the vicinity of the conductor element (10). The cable is equipped with a winding-free energy recovery system (11) which supplies the strip (16) with electric current from the energy available in the conductor (10). The strip (16) has a plurality of elements which generate light from this electric current.
Claims10
A power cable comprising:
- a central stuffing region containing at least one conductive element, wherein said power cable further comprises at least one strip placed in said central stuffing region, in the vicinity of said at least one conductive element, said cable being equipped with a windless energy-harvesting system including at least one ferromagnetic rope stranded conductor disposed along said at least one conductive element which supplies said strip with electric current on the basis of the energy available in said at least one conductive element, said strip comprising a plurality of light-producing elements that produce light from said electric current collected by the at least one ferromagnetic rope stranded conductor.
