Abstract:
1. An electric power transmission system for communications, comprising: a main switch for turning on or off high-voltage AC (alternating current) power transmitted from a transmission grid; a plurality of on/off switches; a plurality of high-voltage power assemblies each electrically connected to one of the on/off switches; a plurality of groups of high-voltage devices, each group of high-voltage devices being powered by one of the high-voltage power assemblies; a carrier waves communications network electrically connected to the remaining ones of the on/off switches, the carrier waves communications network comprising a transformer and filter electrically connected to one of the on/off switches, a filter electrically connected to one of the on/off switches, and a carrier waves coupling device electrically interconnecting the transformer and filter and the filter wherein the transformer and filter comprises a low-voltage power assembly for communications and the filter comprises a high-voltage power assembly for communications; a plurality of low-voltage devices being powered by the low-voltage power assembly for communications; and a plurality of high-voltage devices being powered by the high-voltage power assembly for communications, wherein the low-voltage power assembly for communications is adapted to reduce voltage of the high-voltage AC power transmitted from the transmission grid to a predetermined low voltage; wherein the low-voltage power assembly for communications is adapted to filter out noise in the AC having the predetermined low voltage; wherein data communications among the low-voltage devices is effected by transmitting carrier waves therebetween over the AC having the predetermined low voltage; wherein the high-voltage power assembly for communications is adapted to filter out noise in the high-voltage AC power; wherein data communications among the high-voltage devices is effected by transmitting carrier waves therebetween over the high-voltage AC power; and wherein data is adapted to send either from the low-voltage device to the high-voltage device by transmitting carrier waves from the low-voltage power assembly for communications to the high-voltage power assembly for communications via the carrier waves coupling device or from the high-voltage device to the low-voltage device by transmitting carrier waves from the high-voltage power assembly for communications to the low-voltage power assembly for communications via the carrier waves coupling device.
