- the low-pass filters 33 and 73 are provided, for example, a communication signal of 2 to 30 MHz is attenuated to tens to hundreds, but the control pilot signal is input with almost no attenuation or distortion. Since the signal can be received by the circuit 60, the voltage determination or duty ratio determination of the control pilot signal is not affected.
- the low-pass filters 33 and 73 are provided, communication signals transmitted and received by the communication units 30 and 70 are not attenuated by the output circuit 20 or the input circuit 60, and thus are superimposed on the control pilot line.

Further, it is possible to prevent a decrease in communication speed of communication by the communication units 30 and 70 or a decrease in noise resistance.
- the impedance of the communication units 30 and 70 viewed from the output circuit 20 does not change. That is, when the capacitance of the coupling capacitors 32 and 72 is increased, the voltage drop of the coupling capacitors 32 and 72 in the communication band (2 to 30 MHz in the case of a high-speed PLC) is reduced, so that the attenuation characteristic can be improved. Although possible, large distortion occurs in the control pilot signal. Since the capacitances of the coupling capacitors 32 and 72 are not changed, it is possible to prevent the control pilot signal output from the output circuit 20 from being distorted.
