uses to deliver power to our homes. Don’t miss out on this informative
program, see you soon!
Radio and TV Interference (RTVI) Presentation
The presentation covers a brief technical review of electro-magnetic
interference (EMI), more detailed information about interference from
power lines, the typical causes, and a short overview of SCE power
delivery voltages and structures. SCE’s RTVI investigation program is
described in detail and how customers can access this free service.
Sources of interference from both home appliances and utility sources
are identified to assist customers in their own investigation, if so
desired. The electronic tools and equipment used by SCE service
personnel in locating interference are also included in the
presentation for the more technical members of the audience. Finally,
a message on electrical safety and warnings about staying away from
potentially hazardous voltages is also emphasized.
