of communication and of beeing with HV transmission lines. The
main function of the Line Trap is to
present a high impedance at the
carrier frequency band while
introducing negligible impedance
at the power frequency. The high
impedance limits the attenuation
of the carrier signal within the
power system by preventing the
carrier signal from being:
• dissipated in the substation
• grounded in the event of a fault
outside the carrier transmission
path
• dissipated in a tap line or a
branch of the main transmission
path.
