Ugljanin and his team came up with an innovative solution in the electrification of watering systems with the application of a voltage of 1,000 volts. For the first time in the world, this voltage level was successfully applied for the electrification of a ranger-type mobile artificial rain machine, and for his endeavor this electrical engineer was awarded second place in the selection for the best technological innovation in Serbia in 2017. Rangers are linear irrigation machines that move along canals up to three kilometers. The water is collected from the channel via the diesel pump unit and distributed over the field via sprinklers placed along the machine. Rangers are relatively large consumers of oil, from 15 to 30 liters per hour. During intensive work in the irrigation season, they consume more than five tons of oil. They are used mainly on large plots of regular shape with an area of ​​100 to 400 hectares.
