UNIVERSAL POWER-LINE CARRIER SYSTEM TYPE OPU-1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION - Rev 7 (May 2019)

Teleprotection integrated in the digital band
The digital operation band is used for the QAM signal and teleprotection signals.
For this application the OPU-1 terminal is equipped with a specific set of 4-command
teleprotection system.
The guard signal is sent to the high-voltage line together with the QAM signal. When the
receiver detects the absence of the guard signal, the QAM signal is blocked, for a pre-set
period of time, to allow command signal detection.
