Abstract
Method and system for transmitting data using power lines are disclosed. The method includes tying low voltage lines for the transmission of BPL signals but maintaining isolation of those voltage circuits in accordance with normal power distribution system practices. The system includes a plurality of power transformers, one or more low voltage circuits, wherein the low voltage circuits operate as separate electrical circuits, and a low voltage signal coupler, operable to couple one or more of the low voltage circuits.
