Abstract :
A complete framework dealing with power line communication in medium voltage network is proposed. Based on path loss measurements, a complete characterisation of inductive couplers is performed. After a brief recall of inductive coupling techniques, we address the issue of power switching influence on inductive coupler performances. Finally, we show the key role of the medium voltage to low voltage transformer for a phase to ground propagation mode.
