I tried these powerline adapters and found they were very unreliable across the two phases in my own home. By this i mean if i plugged one adapter into an outlet, i had to find another outlet on the same side of the panel to get it to work.
To hear that it is working across homes means it must have went back to the transformer??
One month my internet was incredibly flaking. After finally getting down to debugging I was horrified to find mine and my neighbours networks had coalesced.
I tore the power line adaptors out and got a WiFi printer.
I have no idea how it could happen only that at some point we'd both pressed the connect buttons within the discoverable phase.
This may be a different use of the word, but I am picturing a detached greenhouse. My mental picture has the humidity too high for electronics and the only safe outlets being outdoor-rated outlets.
Not sure how it applies in this context. You could plug both power line adaptors into the same surge protected extension but to what end?
Is there a physical filter that could "firewall" local AC wiring powerline communication from the neighbor's AC wiring?
It wasn’t having to go back out to or through a transformer, just back out along the common wire serving that phase to his and his neighbour’s houses.
It’s functionally equivalent to connecting two outlets on the same phase within your house, just a bit longer distance.
The answer is obviously nothing stops it from going to the transformer. You seem to have completely missed my point so let me restate it.
It is odd how in this case the system works across a transformer and into another home yet i found it had difficulties on the two phases of my own home?
It would be interesting to hear for an actual electrician on how this would be possible, and why it didn't work properly for me?
Different phases are never interconnected, have separate windings on a transformer and are on different cables, since there's a voltage between different phases, as they represent three different points on a generator axis and are offset by pi2/3.
