Part 15 of the FCC states:
Part 15 transmitters that obtain power from the electrical power lines are subject to conducted emission standards that limit the amount of radio frequency energy they can conduct back onto these lines in the band 450 kHz - 30 MHz. This limit is 250 microvolts. Section 15.207 An exception to the conducted emission requirements is made for carrier current systems. These systems are not subject to any conducted emission limits unless they produce emissions (fundamental or harmonic) in the 535 kHz - 1,705 kHz band and are not intended to be received by standard AM broadcast receivers, in which case they are subject to a 1,000 microvolt limit. Although carrier current systems are, for the most part, not subject to conducted emission limits, they are still subject to radiated emission limits.
