A practical introduction to power line carrier schemes

Jeffrey E. Brown’s field-oriented guide introduces the basics of power line carrier schemes used in electrical transmission protection. It focuses on understanding how different schemes work, implementing and maintaining them, and recognizing common problems to avoid. The description also places the subject in the context of fiber communications, addressing the book’s view that power line carrier remains relevant while fiber costs remain a consideration. Its emphasis is on practical knowledge for engineers supplementing on-the-job training.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Electrical and power-system engineers seeking an introduction to power line carrier schemes.
  • Field engineers looking for guidance on implementation, maintenance, and common scheme problems.
  • Readers interested in transmission-line protection and carrier communications.

Book overview

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.
