Product Description
Description
The SPD 356-XY TandAction™ Hybrid Station Protector
employs a heavy-duty 3-element gas tube whose operation is
matched with solid-state MOVs (metal oxide varistors). The
level of protection is improved compared to ordinary gas tube
protectors, or other hybrid protectors, by coordinating the
operating voltages of the MOVs and the gas tube. The MOV
operates first, providing rapid response to fast rising voltage
surges induced by lightning, while the gas tube provides the
high energy protection so important on residential telephone
circuits. The result is better protection for analog and digital
electronic equipment connected to the telephone network plus
long protector service life.
TandAction hybrid station protectors provide improved service
life even when exposed to severe temperature and humidity
cycling compared to gas tubes with backup air gaps. Life
shortening intermittent noise and erratic operation, due to
backup air gap contamination, are eliminated with the use of
solid-state MOVs. Furthermore, the heavy-duty 3-element gas
tube protects against both longitudinal and metallic (transverse)
surges by grounding tip and ring connections simultaneously.
If a power cross causes abnormal current flow on the
telephone line, a fail-safe eutectic alloy pellet shorts the line to
ground.
