United States Patent 7,154,382
Cern December 26, 2006

Arrangement of inductive couplers for data communication

Abstract
There is provided a system including (a) a first inductive coupler for coupling a data signal between a port of the first inductive coupler and a first subset of a plurality of electrically parallel conductors, and (b) a second inductive coupler for coupling the data signal between a port of the second inductive coupler and a second subset of the plurality of conductors. There are also provided methods for arranging such a system.

    ---------------------------------
    Construction of medium voltage power line data couplers


    Abstract
    There is provided an inductive coupler for coupling a data signal to a phase line of a power line. The inductive coupler includes a split magnetic core having an aperture formed by an upper magnetic core and a lower magnetic core. The aperture permits the phase line to pass therethrough as a primary winding, the upper magnetic core is for making electrical contact with an outer surface of the phase line, and the lower magnetic core makes electrical contact with the upper magnetic core.
