Abstract

See full text

A low voltage link for converting on/off orders between a relay building and remote high or medium voltage electrical disconnection apparatus, the link being mainly constituted by a bundle of electrical lines extending from the building to the remote apparatus, each line serving to convey an on/off order in the form of a voltage step. The voltage step transmitted on each line is converted, at the end of the line close to the electrical apparatus, into a two-state optical signal by an electro-optical conversion unit associated with said line, said optical signal then being delivered to an opto-electronic conversion unit associated with the electro-optical conversion unit in order to deliver a two-state electrical control signal to the apparatus. A crosstalk reduction device is provided at the terminals of each electro-optical conversion unit to reduce the level of a crosstalk voltage peak received at the terminals of said unit by use of a capacitive circuit forming a voltage divider, and to subtract a certain voltage from the reduced voltage peak by use of a zener diode so that the voltage peak received at the terminals of the electro-optical conversion unit is not detected thereby.
