Phase-to-phase coupling
Coupling to two phases of the power system is much more
reliable than coupling to just one phase. A single phase to
ground fault in this case will normally cause an additional attenuation of the PLC signal by about 6 dB only.
A phase-to-phase coupling scheme consists of two coupling
devices, one of which includes a hybrid module.

Device protection
The connections to the PLC equipment enter via four polyester cable glands (2x M20 and 2x M25) at the bottom of the
housing.
A screw terminal is provided for the center of the coaxial
cable and a clamp for the outer braiding.

HV line impedance
Characteristic impedances of HV lines typically lie in the range
from 350 to 450 per phase for single conductor and from
250 to 350 per phase for bundle conductors. In order to
terminate the coupling filter correctly for average operating
conditions, the shunting effect of the line trap and the station impedance has to be taken into account. The line traps,
which are inserted to compensate as far as possible the shunt
impedance of the substation, are designed in such a way that
the minimum blocking resistance is 1.41 times the line impedance. So the effective shunt impedance can be varied during
operation between this value and infinity. Accordingly, the lineside impedance of the coupling filter varies between 240 and
400 for single conductor and between 180 and 300 for
bundle conductors. A compromise has to be chosen in these
ranges for the line-side impedance of the coupling filter. For
single conductor, this is typically 320 , for bundle conductors 240 . Where a mismatch still remains, a lower coupling
filter impedance is better than a higher one.

RF through connections
RF through connections is a low-cost way of establishing
PLC links extending over a number of line sections. Their
main drawback is their relatively high transit attenuation. The
signal-to-noise ratio of the over-all link must therefore be
considered when engineering the system. However, since the
signals do not pass through filters with high selectivity, they
have a more favorable frequency response (lower amplitude
and group delay distortion) and shorter signal delays than AF
through connections.
