Figure 7.24 illustrates the same principle but with two magnetic ferrites over a
three-phase network.
Choice of Injection Cable
It is preferable to inject the signal over the neutral cable for a single-phase network and on
one of the phases for a three-phase network. Better performance is achieved by injecting
the signal over a single cable than over several cables at the same time.
This method for connecting PLC devices requires access to the electrical wirings
of the 110 to 220V/50 to 60 Hz network, unlike capacitive coupling, which is
restricted to the connection of a device to an outlet. Therefore, it is important to
request a competent electrician to carry out the coupling operation that requires the
knowledge of the electrical hazards close to the cables and components of the electri-
cal network.
Figure 7.25 illustrates an Eichhoff PLC injector with the magnetic coil open
(on the left) and closed (in the middle) as it is around the electrical wiring, and the
F-type coaxial connector (on the right) used to connect the injector to the cable TV
modem.
