1. A powerline carrier control system comprising a powerline carrier control transmitter for generating a keyed output voltage at audio frequency to be supplied to an AC powerline that has a predetermined line-frequency, and coupling means comprising a first side connected to said transmitter and a second side connected to said powerline to transfer said keyed output voltage to said powerline, said system comprising:

  • a. control signal generating means to generate a control signal at said line-frequency, said control signal corresponding to a back AC signal at said line-frequency transmitted from said powerline through said coupling means; and

    b. superimposing means connected to said control signal generating means to be controlled by said control signal, said superimposing means being connected to said powerline carrier control transmitter to superimpose, on said keyed output voltage at audio frequency therefrom, a compensating voltage at a controlled amplitude and phase relative to said back signal and in opposition thereto to reduce substantially the flow of current at said predetermined line-frequency from said powerline through said powerline carrier control transmitter.
