I meant Âhot which is Line 1 and Line 2 in the diagram. For alternating current there is the hot wire and the neutral. In the US the black wire is the hot and the white is the neutral. The neutral wires would all be connected at the circuit breaker panel. Whereas in your diagram Line 1 and Line 2 connect the transformer. This is why the power line device might not work connected across line1 and line2 because the transformer will alter the voltage. However, if two separate circuits in the house both use line1, then the signal does not have to move across the transformer. It just occurred to me that if these power line devices use the neutral wire then the problem of going across line1 and line2 is eliminated because all the neutral wires connect at the panel and should not be impacted by the transformer. For full disclosure, I am not an electrician but I work in the electric utility business and I have done electrical wiring repairs at my house.
