Wherein the content of the first and second substances,

Three-phase four-wire power line 110 adopts the long power line to insert, can utilize the power line to carry out power line carrier communication signal attenuation, and wherein, power line length can be adjusted through the test site interference condition, preferably, three-phase four-wire power line 110 adopts the three-phase four-wire power line that length is 100 m. In addition, the cross-sectional area of the three-phase four-wire power line 110 is also selected to be as small as possible in order to increase the attenuation of the carrier signal, and preferably, the cross-sectional area of the three-phase four-wire power line 110 is 0.75mm or 1 mm. By using the three-phase four-wire power line 110 having a long length and a small cross-sectional area as described above, the power line attenuation is increased, which is a low-cost method for further increasing the attenuation of the signal. Specifically, the length of the three-phase four-wire power line 110 and the cross-sectional area of the power line can be set according to actual needs, and need not be limited by the embodiments of the present invention.

The three-phase four-wire isolation filter 120 has an input connected to the other end 110 of the three-phase four-wire power line and an output connected to the input of the isolation attenuation filter.

Preferably, the inductor is an inductor with a model number of 220UH/0.5A, the capacitor is a capacitor with a model number of 0.33UF/440V, the inductor and the capacitor form a filter, and the power carrier signals transmitted by the two-way signal head end module 150 (test equipment) and the power carrier communication equipment 200 (tested equipment) in the test system are attenuated, and the attenuation amplitude can reach more than 40 dB. It should be noted that the design of the serially connected inductors needs to be disposed close to the signal coupler 140 (the capacitors are disposed close to the three-phase four-wire isolation filter 120), and the functions of the inductors and the capacitors can form a filter on one hand, and can isolate the power carrier signal on the other hand, so that the communication carrier amplitude between the power carrier communication device 200 (tested device) and the two-way signal head end module 150 (testing device) is not affected by the three-phase four-wire isolation filter 120. In an actual application environment, the number, the type and the like of the inductors and the capacitors can be set according to actual needs, and the limitation of the embodiment of the invention is not required.

Preferably, the series resistor has a resistance value of 1.2 ohms, the high-voltage capacitor has a model of 2.2nF/250V, and the communication radio-frequency signal transmitted by the two-way signal head end module 150 is coupled to the high-voltage power line through the transformer and the 2.2nF/250V high-voltage capacitor after passing through the 1.2 ohm series resistor. The embodiment of the invention adopts a two-way coupling design, and can meet a high-speed two-channel communication mode. In an actual application environment, the number, the type and the like of the series resistor and the high voltage can be set according to actual needs, and the limitation of the embodiment of the invention is not required.

Further, with continued reference to fig. 1, the test system 100 further includes: an attenuator 160 disposed between the signal coupler 140 and the dual signal head end module 150.
