Impact of household electrical appliances on transmission speed in PLC networks

The paper deals with the impact of switching power supplies, surge protection and current protector on the throughput in PLC (Power Line Communication) networks created with PLC adapters TL-PA8010v2 and TL-WPA8630v2. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol) protocols were used for data transmission and the PLC network itself was implemented on aluminum and copper lines. Measurements of transmission speeds made it possible to analyze the various effects of interference on data transmission on both lines and compare them. This paper is a supplement to the testing of PLC networks with the mentioned adapters, which is the subject of another paper at the conference.
