Cohn, L

Two Florida facilities are replacing powerline carrier (PLC) energy management systems with hard-wired equipment to correct problems with radio wave interference. Hardwiring uses electronic rather than radio signals, while PLC systems use existing building wiring. Interference from LORAN radio signals that guide ships at sea were the chief problem, which was intensified by the length of cables needed to connect multiple-building facilities. PLC systems are more appropriate for single-building installations. (DCK)
