PLC Line Traps


Line Traps are essential components utilized in transmission and distribution networks. Power Line Carriers (PLC) play a crucial role in power transmission systems, while facilitating remote control signals, voice communication and remote metering and control between substations within the electrical transmission and distribution networks.

 

Features

 

  • Standards: IEC 60353, IEEE Std. C93.4, IEEE Std.643
  • Manufactured according to specified short circuit requirements
  • Light weight design facilitates easy mounting
  • Cooling spacers contribute to lower winding temperatures that reduce the temperature of the windings
  • Tuning unit box can be easily replaced without dismantling the coil when frequency adjustments are needed
  • Suitable for installation on capacitive voltage transformers, supports, insulators or suspension mounts
  • Low stray capacitance and high quality factor
  • Corona spheres provided for voltages over 245 kV
  • Accommodates various types of conductor terminals
  • Available in DIN or NEMA type terminal configurations
