Abstract
Light sources are being competitive in the current
market. Several types of these products have been widely used in
the last two decades. They play a major role on the low voltage
network as they produce and inject undesired noise onto the
transmission lines of the PLC channel. This noise can be of a
serious and negative effect when using the power line
communications system to control the automatic switching of
lamps in residential areas and public places. The main colour
low-energy indoor light sources that exist in the market, such as,
LEDs and CFLs have been tested for the noise generation on the
PLC channel and the results are analyzed and shown in this
study. A mathematical analysis of LED bridge rectifier is
introduced in this study.
