Enabling Smart Communication: PREMO Launches New PLC Transformer Series for EV and Smart Grid Applications
In an era of connected energy systems and intelligent electric vehicles, Power Line Communication (PLC) is revolutionizing how devices share information. PREMO, a global leader in magnetic components, proudly introduces its PLC Transformer Series — engineered to enable secure, high-integrity data transmission over power lines in smart grids, EV/PHV platforms, and industrial automation systems.
🌐 What Are PLC Transformers and Why Do They Matter?
PLC transformers serve a critical role in enabling digital communication across existing electrical wiring, eliminating the need for additional data lines. These specialized transformers:
- Inject or extract communication signals from the power line
- Isolate the signal path from high-voltage domains
- Operate across a wide frequency range (20kHz to 500kHz)
They are indispensable in:
- 🔌 Smart metering and grid energy monitoring
- 🚗 EV/PHV onboard charger communications
- 🏭 Industrial IoT and smart factories
- 🧠 Remote diagnostics and telemetry systems
