(Please refer to the document on LEA’s website entitled: “Constraints when deploying PLC equipment using private internal electrical networks”) A24 : When you have a single phase electricity meter installed in your home, all of the electrical sockets are connected on the same electrical phase and have the potential to communicate with each other via a NetPlug module. However, it is still possible to find more dated installations, or a three phase installation, which may disrupt communication in some instances. In these two cases, it is advisable to test the communication between the sockets using LEA’s SoftPlug software. If the sockets are connected to different electrical phases then you will need to install a phase coupler so that the PLC signals can be distributed simultaneously over the three phases.
