Visualisation arrangement
DCFirst Claim
1. An arrangement for visual indication of an electrical quantity, being one or several of power, current or voltage through a conductor, wherein the arrangement comprises a substantially wire shaped illuminator and a controller for control at least one illumination characteristic of said wire shaped illuminator with respect to said electrical quantity by measuring the electrical quantity and feeding the wire shaped illuminator with varying current or voltage corresponding to the electrical quantity measured in the conductor.
