Telephone Protector Block

Telephone Protector Blocks are devices used to protect telephone lines from electrical surges and voltage spikes. They are part of the supply class Fuses, Arrestors, Absorbers, and Protectors in the supply group Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components.

Telephone Protector Blocks are typically installed at the point where the telephone line enters a building or facility. They are designed to divert excessive voltage and current away from sensitive telephone equipment, preventing damage and ensuring reliable communication.

These protector blocks usually consist of a series of gas discharge tubes or metal oxide varistors (MOVs) that provide surge protection. When a surge or spike occurs, the protector block activates and redirects the excess energy to the ground, protecting the connected telephone equipment.

In addition to surge protection, some telephone protector blocks also include features such as overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, and lightning protection. These additional features further enhance the safety and reliability of the telephone line.

Overall, Telephone Protector Blocks play a crucial role in safeguarding telephone lines and equipment from electrical disturbances, ensuring uninterrupted communication and preventing costly damage.
