Based on path loss measurements, a complete characterisation of inductive couplers is performed. After a brief recall of inductive coupling techniques, we address the issue of power switching influence on inductive coupler performances. Finally, we show the key role of the medium voltage to low voltage transformer for a phase to ground propagation modecarrier transmission on power linescoupled transmission linespotential transformerspower cablesswitching networkstelecommunication cablestelecommunication transmission linestransmission networkspower switchingpower line communicationmedium voltage networkpath loss measurementinductive coupling techniqueinductive couplermedium voltage-low voltage transformerphase-ground propagation modetext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
