Efficient coupling of power line
carrier signals into high voltage
transmission lines.

DESCRIPTION
Line tuning equipment, associated
coupling capacitors, and line traps
provide an efficient means to couple
power line carrier (PLC) signals onto
a high voltage overhead transmis-
sion line or power cable. Line tuners
are also used in carrier bypass cir-
cuits to route PLC signals around dis-
continuities, such as transformers,
breakers, and disconnect switches.
The CL02B and CL03A are designed
to deliver maximum power to the
high voltage line at the selected PLC
frequencies and to attenuate unwant-

ed frequencies. All tuners provide a
very high attenuation to 60 Hz cur-
rents and voltages.
An impedance matching transformer
(IMT) in the tuner allows matching of
various overhead line impedances to
the low coaxial cable and equipment
impedance. This provides a high
return loss path, or low reflective
power, in the desired passband range
of frequencies. A low impedance IMT
is available for power cable applica-
tions.

CL02/CL03 Line Tuners
Application
Transfer-trip and line relaying
Directional or phase comparison
Voice communication
Line Tuners
Efficient coupling of PLC signals to
power lines
CL02B are resonant line tuners
CL03A are wide band line tuners
provide a choice of frequency ranges and
power ratings in various coupling arrange-
ments. The entire PLC frequency range, from
30 to 500 kHz can be accommodated. Power
ratings up to 200 W are available. Wide-band
tuners are available with up to five resonant
circuits for maximum coupling bandwidth for
power cables, and for use with small coupling
capacitors at lower carrier frequencies.
Each line tuner is housed in an outdoor cabi-
net.
