Power Line Carriers - Simplified Will Make You the Expert

The Main Purpose of Power Line Carrier is to give you instantaneous tripping for 100% of the line. Without Power Line Carrier, your protection would not coordinate and transmission lines would be tripping incorrectly all across your system. I have heard time and time again, that the future is fiber and Power Line Carrier is a thing of the past. Until the day the cost of fiber per mile becomes economical, Power Line Carrier is here to stay. In this book, you will learn the basics behind the carrier schemes. The goals are to become familiar with the schemes and how to implement and maintain them. You will learn how to identify and avoid many common problems associated with each type of scheme. You will learn what to do, and what not to do. You will become the Carrier Expert. When I graduated from Georgia Tech and began my career, I was starving for a source of information that would allow me to supplement my OJT. This book is dedicated to all those engineers who went looking for a source to better themselves. Good luck, and one day share what you have learned.
