Hallo everybody,
this is my first post, so let me start with a hearty hello in your round...

I have a question regarding the PWR-Line AP.

I read that they have to connect to the same electrical phase circuit.

What does it mean?

Is NOT possible to use them in my house where different rooms are seperatet via different fuses?
Do they have to connect to one curcuit on the same fuse?

Or do they connect together via the neutral conductor?

Sorry for my english and the maybe wrong technicla terms. I am from Germany and not sure if they are correct and so named outside germany...

Regards
Manfred

Fuses or magnetothermical switches interrupt the signal of power line adapters.

in order to use them, the two devices must be in the same electrical network
So, if your rooms are separated, you can’t use powerline sfapters.

Well, the connection might actually work, but speed will be far from maximum. This depends on how the wires are laid. If wires feeding different outlers are laid in same duct for some length (a few metres), then DLC signal from one line induces in the other one ... this is exact mechanism allowing it to work on different phases.

But, as @dpal80 writes: DLC works best if devices are on the same wiring branch (off the same fuse). Unless the old type (replacable melting) fuses are in use, in this case fuses don't cause notable degradation.

OK. thx. I see.
The important thing is that all sockets are connected to the same phase. One of the three incomming.
Otherwise I have to build in a phase coupler.

If the rooms are seperated with fuses, but are connected to the same phase, it could work.

If the rooms are seperated with fuses, but are connected to the same phase, it could work.

If fuses used are the "switch type", then "same phase different circuit" connections will work equally bad as cross-phase ones.

There a devices (phase coupler) for this. But you need an electrician to install.
