+PLC line traps Power Line Carrier (PLC) devices are part of a communication system and are aimed at providing voice and data transmission functions enabling, for example, remote control, teleprotection,
telephony which are needed in utilities’ network infrastructures. PLC Line Traps, like SELTA SBS-N, are used to limit the PLC signals trasmission vs undesidered networks directions enabling re-
use of power network frequency bands.
SELTA have been designing line traps for more than thirty years gathering a strong know-how and developing high performance devices, compliant with the latest IEC60353 recommendations
and offering a wide range of inductances: current values are therefore available to be used in modern power systems having to cope with higher nominal and short circuit power levels with
subsequent very severe mechanical forces in the main coil of the traps.

BENEFITS SURGE ARRESTER

One surge arrester is linked in parallel to the terminals of the main coil and to the tuning unit to protect them
• loss reduction
from transient over voltages. The surge arrester is accessibly mounted inside the main coil and it is located near
• high mechanical strength
the tuning unit, to provide optimum protection.
• high short-circuit withstand capability
• excellent cooling
• light weight
TUNING DEVICE
SELTA line traps are supplied with parallel connected tuning devices making the attenuation and impedance
MAIN FEATURES characteristics of the power line independent of the switching conditions of the power networks. Standard
• High operational reliability thanks to high short circuit current withstand capacity SELTA tuning devices are of the wideband type which are more common:
• Open structure for optimum cooling of the coil ( longer life expectancy) • single frequency and double frequency tuning devices are available upon request.
• All components of the main coil carrying the power current -including the H.V. terminals- are weld connected obtaining
therefore corrosion free electrical connections
• A thermal compensation systems allows absorbing the mechanical stresses due to temperature variations
• Negligible inductance tolerances among identical types for an easier interchangeability
• High Q for broader usable bandwidth HUMIDITY

• Low self-capacitance of the main coil with subsequent higher resonant frequencies. New tuning units, in case of Circuit diagram of a band tuned line trap:
frequency changes, can be installed without removing the trap or retesting it MC = Main Coil
• High pulse withstand of the tuning unit provides high operational reliability PD = Protective Device
• The small size reduces the forces acting on coupling capacitors/CVT/post insulators: it is easy to obtain the required TD = Tuning Device
clearances between the phases TEMPERATURE

• The reduced weight simplifies the installation

• Bird barriers prevent the intrusion of birds into the main coil. They consist of a temperature and UV resistant reinforced
nylon grid
• No maintenance is required
SUSTAINABILITY

MAIN COIL
The main coil consists of one or more cylindrical windings-depending on the value of the
nominal current-, concentrically located and electrically connected in parallel.
Each winding consists of an aluminium alloy section bar with a rectangular cross-section
and with the shortest side parallel to the line trap axis , to guarantee high mechanical
strength. The turns are adequately separated from each other, to improve cooling and
high frequency properties: the separators are made of impregnated sturdy fibres
guaranteeing high insulation and mechanical strength.

(*) The electric boards are manufactured in compliance with Directive 2011/65 / EU (RoHS-2).
