Telephone Protector

Telephone protectors are devices that are used to protect telephone lines and equipment 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 protectors are designed to divert excessive voltage and current away from sensitive telephone equipment, preventing damage and ensuring the smooth operation of the telephone system. They typically consist of a combination of fuses, surge arrestors, and other protective components.

Fuses are used to protect against overcurrent conditions by interrupting the flow of electricity when the current exceeds a certain threshold. Surge arrestors, on the other hand, are designed to divert high voltage surges to the ground, preventing them from reaching the connected equipment.

Absorbers are used to absorb and dissipate transient voltage spikes, which can occur due to lightning strikes or power surges. They provide an additional layer of protection by absorbing the excess energy and preventing it from reaching the telephone equipment.

Overall, telephone protectors play a crucial role in safeguarding telephone lines and equipment from electrical disturbances, ensuring reliable communication and preventing costly damage.
