CLC/TC 210/WG 11 - PLT apparatus standard

This part of EN 50561 specifies limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics for in-home communication apparatus that use the low-voltage power installation as the transmission medium. This part of EN 50561 applies to equipment that communicate over this medium in the frequency range 1,606 5 MHz to 30 MHz. NOTE Similar equipment that communicate outside this frequency range is under study and will be covered by another European Standard. Procedures are given for the measurement of signals generated by the equipment and limits are specified for the frequency range 9 kHz to 400 GHz. No measurement is required at frequencies where no limit is specified.

This part of EN 50561 specifies limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics for PLC access network communication apparatus that use the low voltage power installation as the transmission medium. This European Standard applies to equipment that communicate over this medium in the frequency range 1,606 5 MHz to 30 MHz. Procedures are given for the measurement of signals generated by the equipment and limits are specified for the frequency range 9 kHz to 400 GHz. No measurement is required at frequencies where no limit is specified. PLC apparatus in the scope of this standard is intended to operate under the responsibility of the PLC access network operator. This part does not apply to PLC apparatus solely communicating to each other in the same home; such apparatus is in the scope of EN 50561-1.
