Transformers that Meet Smart Energy Infrastructure Narrowband Requirements in PLC-Based Systems

Oct. 27, 2022
Distribution grid structures have changed to support new smart cities/smart home energy-saving goals. See the transformer features needed to meet high-reliability narrowband design needs in an increasing line of telecommunications systems.

This application note outlines the change in structure of power distribution grids and presents the quality and faster service benefits of Power Line Communication (PLC) technology for today’s smart grids. Readers will learn a straightforward approach to designing galvanic isolation for a line coupling circuit using a smart meter application example.
