INTRODUCTION TO
PLCC
 POWER LINE CARRIER COMMUNICATION is the
technology which is used to communicate
between electric substations through existing
electrical cables.

 The data can be transfer at 9.6 Kbits/sec over


miles of electrical cable.
BASIC PRINCIPAL
OF PLCC
 Power-line communications systems operate by adding a modulated carrier
signal on one conductor, on two conductors or on all three conductors of a
high-voltage AC transmission line.

 Different types of power-line communications use different frequency bands.


Since the power distribution system was originally intended for transmission of
AC power at typical frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz.

 Power wire circuits have only a limited ability to carry higher frequencies.

EQUIPMENTS
PLCC has some equipment inside the PLCC room and some part in
switch yard.

PLCC STATION
 It is the station where Transmission,
reception, Amplification and Filtration are
performed.
 Frequency Range : 40-500 KHz
 Audio Bandwidth : 4KHz
 Output Power : 10-80 W

LINE MATCHING
UNIT

For impedance matching between line and co-


axial cable, includes high voltage protection
devices like drainage coil (20mH), lighting
arrestor(500V) and an earth switch.
EARTHING
SWITCH

This is used for the


maintenance of LMU. The
main function of Earth
switch is to ground the
trapped charges.
CONTROL VOLTAGE
TRANSFORMER

 It is connected between the line


matching unit and the power lines to
block the high voltage entering to PLCC
equipment.
 It couples high frequency carries with
power line.
WAVE TRAPS or
LINE TRAPS

Wave traps are used between the transmission


line and the power stations to avoid carrier
power dislocation in the power plant and cross
talk with other power line carrier circuits
connected to the same power station.

ADVANTAGES
 No separate wires are needed for communication purposes, as the power lines
themselves carry power as well as communication signals. Hence the cost is
less.
 Power lines have appreciably higher mechanical strength compared with
ordinary lines. They would normally remain unaffected under the conditions,
which might seriously damage telephone lines.
 Power lines have large cross-sectional area resulting in vey low resistance per
unknit length. Consequently carrier signals suffer much less attenuation than
when they travel on telephone lines of equal lengths.
 Power lines are well insulated to provide only negligible leakage between
conductors and ground even in adverse weather conditions.
DISADVANTAGES
 Proper care has to be taken to guard carrier equipment and persons using
them against high voltages and currents on the lines.
 High voltage lines have transformer connections, attenuate carrier
currents. Sub-station equipments adversely affect the carrier currents.
 Noise introduced by power lines is far more than in case of telephone lines.
This is due to the noise generated by discharge across insulator, corona
and switching processes.
 The noise is also introduced in the signal due to bad weather conditions.
APPLICATION OF
PLCC
 Transmission & Distribution Network: PLCC was first adopted in the Electrical transmission
and distribution system to transmit information a fast rate.
 Home control and Automation: PLCC technology is used in home control and automation.
This technology can reduce the resources as well as efforts for Activities like power
management, energy conservation, etc .
 Entertainment: PLCC is used to distribute the multimedia content throughout the home.
 Telecommunication: Data transmission for different types of communications like telephonic
communication, audio, video communication can be made with the use of PLCC technology.
 Security Systems: In monitoring houses or businesses through surveillances Corners, PLCC
technology is for useful .
 Automatic Meter Reading: Automatic Meter reading applications use the PLCC technology
in send the data from home meters to Host Central Station[7]
