Abstract

An impedance versus frequency characterization of a 60 Hz power distribution system has been performed from 30 Hz to 1 MHz. The impedance characterization involves both empirical and theoretical aspects utilizing transmission line theory. The characterization yielded transmission line attributes that determine the power distribution system´s performance for auxiliary functions such as data propagation. Potential applications of the characterization include analyzing the applicability of a residential power distribution system for data communications
