Measurement of Background Noise Levels Conducted Over Low Voltage Power Lines in Urban and Rural Areas

This paper presents results of study focused on the measurement of background noise conducted over low voltage power lines in the 0.15 MHz–30 MHz frequency range in urban and rural areas. The paper also describes relationships, which can be used to assess background noise levels on power lines located in urban and rural areas. A block diagram of a background noise voltage measuring system with supporting components is provided too.
