BALISOR for high-voltage lines

High-voltage lines are major hazard for low-flying aircraft. Placing beacons on pylons is not sufficient to ensure safety due to the very long spans of cable. The BALISOR® system - exclusive to OBSTA - is a beacon for high-voltage cables.  BALISOR datasheet

Its conductor’s tapes the power required directly from the line. The system is, therefore, completely self-contained and do not requires any external power.
Our standard model of BALISOR® is a red fixed light and fall into the ICAO low intensity category. The balisor includes:

• A cold neon discharge lamp manufactured by OBSTA with typical lifetime higher than 10 years (some balisors installed near Roissy airport in 1973 are still working today).  
A set of capacitive tapings in aluminium (which depends on the voltage of the line to be protected, they are available from 60 to 550KV line)
A set of accessories for suspension and insulation in aluminium adapted to the diameter of the cable
Interference suppressor included.

For polluted area (near oil refinery, chemical industry...) or sea side, we recommend to use the anti pollution version.
