Since the low-voltage distribution line is a line laid to supply electric energy to consumers, the line characteristic seen from one end of the low-voltage distribution line is the power consumption of consumers (daytime Or there are many first nights and few late nights),
And, it changes depending on the consumption pattern (type of electrical equipment that is a load). The line impedance is low during the day or early night and high at midnight. The S / N ratio deteriorates when a device using a small AC commutator motor (for example, an electric vacuum cleaner) that accompanies the generation of electric sparks is in operation. The single-phase three-wire low-voltage distribution line, the power consumption of the first distribution line and the neutral wire, and the consumption form and the power consumption of the second distribution line and the neutral line, and the consumption form are not necessarily equal, Difference occurs in line impedance. In a distribution line that is a distributed constant line, a difference in line impedance means that there is a difference in phase rotation on the distribution line at the carrier frequency, and there is a difference between the first distribution line and the neutral line and the second line. There is a place between the distribution line and the neutral line where the phase relationships of the carrier waves transmitted in the same phase cancel each other out. As mentioned above, in the communication using the low-voltage distribution line as the transmission line, a request is generated irrespective of the power consumption of the consumer and the communication time, so that it is difficult to always secure the communication. The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is an automatic meter reading device that uses a low-voltage distribution line as a transmission line, and a repeater that ensures communication against changes in the line characteristics of the low-voltage distribution line. It is to provide a terminal and an automatic meter-reading device.
