5 Motivation
PLT systems available today use only one transmission path between two outlets. It is the differential mode channel between the phase (or live) and neutral contact of the mains. These systems are called SISO (Single Input Single Output) modems. In contrast, MIMO PLT systems make use of the third wire, PE (Protective Ea...

6.1 Grounding Systems
In electricity supply systems, a "grounding system" defines the electrical potential of the conductors relative to that of the Earth's conductive surface. The choice of grounding system has implications for the safety and electromagnetic compatibility of the power supply. Note that regulations for grounding systems var...

6.1.1 TN Networks
In a TN earthing system, one of the points in the generator or transformer is connected with earth, usually at the star point in a three-phase system. The body of the electrical device is connected with earth via this earth connection at the transformer. Figure 2: TN Networks The protective earth (PE) is the conductor ...

6.1.2 TT Network
In a TT earthing system, consumer PE connections are provided by a local connection to earth, which is independent from any earth connection at the generator. An advantage of a TT network is that there is no risk of a broken neutral. In locations where power is distributed overhead and TT is used, installation earth co...

6.1.3 IT Network
In an IT network, the distribution system has no connection to earth at all, or it has a high impedance connection which is monitored by an insulation monitoring device. Environments supplied via engine-generators, e.g. laboratory rooms, medical facilities, construction sites, repair workshops, mobile electrical instal...

6.1.4 Regulations of Earthing Networks
• According to the United States National Electrical Code and Canadian Electrical Code, the feed from the distribution transformer uses a combined neutral and grounding conductor, but within the structure separate neutral and protective earth conductors are used (TN-C-S). The neutral must be connected to the earth (gro...

6.2 Wall Socket Types Used in Various Countries
AC power plugs and sockets are devices for connecting removable, electrically operated consumer devices to a power supply. A plug connects mechanically to a matching socket. Plugs are mostly or completely male, while sockets are mostly or completely female; the plug has protruding prongs or pins that fit into matching ...

6.2.1 3 Pin Type Sockets
The types B, H, I, J, K and L use PE third pin (type B accepts type A plugs and types H, J, K and L accept type C). The "Europlug" (type C) will fit type E and F sockets, and the earthed type E/F 2-pin plugs will fit type C (and certain hybrid) sockets, without making earthing contact. Types D, G and M plugs are exclus...
