本指南的目的是向输电线路上应用的载波设备的用户提供应用信息。关于69 kV以下配电线路上的载波扩展使用的信息将不包括在内。应避免提供详细的设备设计信息，因为这主要是设备制造商关心的问题。将介绍电力线载波信道特性的材料，并讨论束内导体系统和绝缘屏蔽线系统。将提供信道性能计算程序。计算数据将从指南的各个章节中提取。考虑的耦合组件包括线路陷波器、耦合电容器、线路调谐器、同轴电缆、混合电路和滤波器。还将讨论频率选择实践和未来趋势。 将努力使本指南与CIGRE指南和IEC标准相协调。

The purpose of this guide will be to provide application information to users of carrier equipment as applied on power transmission lines. Information related to the expanding usage of carriers on distribution lines below 69 kV will not be covered. Detailed equipment design information wioll be avoided as this is primarily the concern of equipment manufacturers. Material on power line carrier channel characteristics will be presented along with discussions on intrabundle conductor systems and insulated shield wire systems. Procedures will be provided for the calculation of channel performance. Data for the calculations will be drawn from various sections of the guide. The coupling components considered will be line traps, coupling capacitors, line tuners, coaxial cables, hybrids, and filters. Frequency selection practices and future trends will also be discussed. An effort will be made to coordinate this Guide with the CIGRE Guide and IEC Standards.
