A. AREAS OF USAGE

Line traps are used in transmission and distribution networks and they are the key components in PCL (Power Line Carrier)
systems used remote control signals, voice communication, remote metering and control between substations in the electrical
T&D networks. Line traps are used for preventing high frequency signals from going towards undesired directions.

B. FEATURES

Standard : IEC 60353

Manufactured as per desired short circuit capacity
Light weight provides ease of mounting
Cooling spacers provides lower winding temperature
Ease of changing tuning box without dismantling the coil
when tuning frequency changes are necessary
Availability of installation on capacitive voltage transformers,
support insulators or suspension mounting
Low stray capacitance and high quality factor (Q)
Low, high and double bandwidth
Overvoltage protection againist short circuit conditions
Provision for nearly every type of conductor terminal
