meter reading over the powerlines
meter reading over the powerlines
(OP)
I have heard that there is technology (in the USA) that allows the remote reading of meters, via, data over powerline. Is this technology compatible with substation level distribution feeders? Will it work through pad mount transformers?

You should also check out the Turtle system by a company called Hunt Technologies. Their WEB site is: http://www.turtletech.com/AboutUs.aspx
As the name implies, this ultra narrow band power line carrier system sends meter readings and other information very s l o w l y.
A new version called TS2 has two way communication technology. The original system is one way; from a transmitter located in the meter, or the meter site, to a receiver, usually mounted in a substation.
