Question { 78998 }
what is Wave Trap? And its Function ? Detail? Where it is Used?
Answer
Wave traps or
line traps are used between the transmission line and power station to avoid carrier power dislocation in the power plant and cross talk with other power line carrier circuits connected to the same power station. They offer high impedance to carrier frequencies but pass 50 cycles power currents easily. They can be resonated at a single carrier frequency with a parallel capacitor. The tuning capacitors are protected against the surge voltages by a spark gap arranged in parallel
It is connected series with
transmission line . it used for communication purpose. It will block the high frequency signal (communication signal) and allow the low frequency (power).
