Application Note #0046
120V / 240V CENode Line Coupling
Introduction:
The Intellon CENode PL contains a CELinx PL transceiver Integrated Circuit (IC), a CEThinx
Network Controller, and transmit/receive circuitry. The CENode PL can be generically
connected to ordinary 120 VAC or 240 VAC power lines through an appropriate line coupler.
Instructions:
The recommended coupling circuit for the CENode PL to high voltage power lines includes a
transformer and a 60 Hz blocking capacitor. The transformer provides a linear transfer function
for the 100-400 KHz CEBus PL Spread Spectrum Carrier (SSC) signal. The capacitor limits the
60Hz current to avoid saturation of the transformer core. Figure 1 represents the minimum
components required for CEBus power line coupling. Good design practices will also incorporate
surge and over voltage protection.
