What is IEC 62488 ‑ 3 about?

IEC 62488 ‑ 3 is one of the parts a series of documents IEC 62488 applies to power line carrier terminals and networks used to transmit information overpower networks including extra high, high, and medium voltage (EHV/HV/MV) power lines using both digital and optionally analogue modulation systems in a frequency range between 16 kHz and 1 MHz. In many countries, power line carrier (PLC) channels represent a significant part of the utility-owned telecommunication system. A circuit normally routed via a PLC channel can also be routed via a channel using a different transmission medium such as point to point radio, optical fibre, or open wire circuit. The issues requiring consideration of DPLC and/or APLC devices as parts of a telecommunication network can be found in IEC 62488-1 . IEC 62488-3 contains the following clauses:
