Power line-communication adapter

摘要

The present invention relates to a power-line-communication adapter including a main functional unit (PLTC) supplied with direct voltage by an internal voltage converter (AC/DC), characterized in that said adapter includes at least one switch (I1, I2) for interrupting the direct current supply to the main unit (PLTC) while the adapter is operating in standby mode.

主权项

1. A powerline communication adapter comprising:
a housing; a main functional unit (PLTC) supplied with DC voltage by a first AC/DC voltage converter and connected to a main socket (AC_IN) for connecting the adapter to an electrical network; a first switch (I1) for interrupting the DC voltage supply to the main unit (PLTC) when the adapter is functioning in a standby mode, said first switch being positioned between the first AC/DC voltage converter and the main socket (AC_IN); a control unit (PLTS) supplied with DC voltage; wherein the adapter also comprises a second AC/DC voltage converter for supplying DC voltage to the control unit (PLTS) that is independent of the first AC/DC voltage converter that supplies the main functional unit, the second AC/DC voltage converter being connected to the main socket (AC_IN) upstream from the first switch, and wherein the main functional unit (PLTC), the first AC/DC voltage converter, the first switch and the control unit (PLTS) are fixed inside the housing.
