ring voltages. The protection circuit shown in Figure 21
utilizes diodes together with a clamping device to protect tip
and ring against high voltage transients.
Positive transients on tip or ring are clamped to within a
couple of volts above ground via diodes D1 and D2. Under
normal operating conditions D1 and D2 are reverse biased
and out of the circuit.
Negative transients on tip and ring are clamped to within a
couple of volts below ground via diodes D3 and D4 with the
help of a Surgector. The Surgector is required to block
conduction through diodes D3 and D4 under normal
operating conditions and allows negative surges to be
returned to system ground.
The fuse resistors (RF) serve a dual purpose of being
nondestructive power dissipaters during surge and fuses
when the line in exposed to a power cross.
