Back-to-back connection in telecommunications
– Formed by connecting a transmitter directly to a receiver without a transmission line in between
– Used for equipment measurements and testing purposes
– Eliminates the effects of the transmission medium
– In some cases, the output of a receiving device is connected to the input of a transmitting device
Back-to-back connection in power transmission
– High-voltage direct-current (HVDC) system
– Both ends in the same switchyard
– Used to couple asynchronously operated power grids
– Used for connecting power grids of different frequencies where no DC transmission line is necessary
Back-to-back connection in electronics
– Connection of two identical or similar components in series with opposite polarity
– Used to convert polarized components to non-polar use
– Common examples include electrolytic capacitors and zener diodes
