A line trap in a long transmission line is used to

A. Improve the Power factor 

B. Dampen the overvoltages oscillations

C. Confine the carrier signals in the line 

D. Protect the line against direct lightning stroke 

Answer with Explanation:

C. Confine the carrier signals in the line 

Explanation:

A line trap, also known as wave trap, or high-frequency stopper, is a maintenance-free parallel resonant circuit, mounted inline on high-voltage (HV) AC transmission power lines to prevent the transmission of high frequency (40 kHz to 1000 kHz) carrier signals of power line communication to unwanted destinations.
