Yes. Although rare, interference from PLC (Power Line Communication) with touch lamp light fixtures is possible. In most cases, the problem occurs with light fittings that do not have a built-in filter and are therefore more vulnerable to this type of interference, which can also come from other electronic devices.
We would like to remind you that the grid operator's technical connection conditions for high-current installations with a maximum nominal voltage of 1000V stipulate in Article 9.3.4 that: “…it is the responsibility of the user of such electrical equipment to ensure that such interference is prevented by the installation of suitable technical means”. »
However, to reduce the impact of PLC signals on your touch lamps your network operator can:
- either offer you a filter free of charge, with a maximum power of 250W, to be simply connected between the socket and the plug of the lamp;
- or advise you to buy 63A filters, to be installed directly in the circuit downstream of your meter, to filter and avoid possible disturbance on the electrical network affecting your installations. These filters must be installed by an electrician.
