    Question

    A wave trap is a-

    A.

    Resonant circuit

    B.

    Low-pass filter

    C.

    High-pass filter

    D.

    Wide-band amplifier

    E.

    Band-pass filter

    Correct option is A

    A wave trap is a device used in power line carrier communication (PLCC) systems.

    It is essentially a resonant circuit (LC circuit) designed to block high-frequency communication signals (30–500 kHz) from entering certain parts of the power system (like generators or substations), while allowing 50/60 Hz power frequency to pass.

    It resonates at the carrier frequency and presents a high impedance, effectively "trapping" the high-frequency wave and preventing its propagation beyond a point.
