== Introduction ==

In remote region of Australia and New Zealand, electric power is provided by Single-Wire Earth Return (SWER) system. The low cost, relatively high reliability SWER line can satisfy the requirements of a stand-alone long distance farm electrification scheme. However failure of overheating the transmission lines put the customer at high risk of bushfire. A Power Line Communication (PLC) coupler is designed and implemented for information transmission and hence voltage regulation and power supply service monitoring can be achieved on-line. The deliverable of the project is to implement a prototype of toroid based inductive narrow band PLC couplers pair which provides high coupling efficiency, low insertion loss and sufficient bandwidth. The proposed PLC couplers are designed to operate at frequency ranged from 35kHz to 478kHz under both low voltage and medium voltage operating condition, which are applicable with Australian SWER Line system and are accomplished with Australian safety standards. A high-pass filter (with cut-off frequency at 9103Hz) system is also integrated into the coupling system to mitigate the effect of saturation.
