Abstract:
By opening switches (14,15) coupling a subscriber loop to circuits in a SLIC (10) when an overvoltage condition occurs, the SLIC is protected from damage. The overvoltage is detected by a overvoltage protector (16) behind the switches. The overvoltage condition is latched (26) and the common control is notified of the condition. The common control may then clear the latch, reclosing the switches. If the overvoltage still exists, the switches are re-opened and maintenance personnel is notified of the fault.
Abstract:
A telephone line interface circuit with d.c. amplifiers (12) coupled to tip and ring paths is protected against transient voltages by a crowbar-type protection device (52) coupled via a diode bridge (28, 30) to the tip and ring paths, positive and negative terminals of the diode bridge being connected respectively to ground and via a diode (54) to a negative supply voltage line for the amplifiers. The diode prevents discharge of a capacitor (26), coupled between the negative supply voltage line and ground, through the protection device when it conducts. A locked up state, in which the amplifiers maintain holding current to the protection device after a transient voltage, is avoided by further diodes (56, 58) coupled from the negative terminal of the diode bridge to inputs of the amplifiers, or by controlling a current limiter (34) to interrupt current to the capacitor when the diode is reverse biased, so that the capacitor discharges. The current limiter includes a resistance (38) and inductance (40) in series for sensing current, whereby initial charging current for the capacitor is reduced on closing of relay contacts (K1, K2) in series with the current limiter, and relay contact deterioration is avoided.

Abstract:
A protection device (10) uses a single-coil (15) latch relay (11) to decouple a telephone and/or data installation from DC transmission lines (12) in the event of a line AC/overvoltage disturbance. A trip circuit (19) and a reset circuit (21) are respectively connected to normally-closed (OUTA1, OUTB1) and normally-open (OUTA2, OUTB2) terminals of the relay to monitor the line voltage using an earth connection as a reference voltage, supplying respectively trip (23) or reset (25) currents to the coil for switching the relay. Hence, the protection device may operatively tolerate an inexpensive high-resistance earth connection. The reset current is supplied to the relay coil by a transistor circuit (Q1, Q2) only after the disturbance has ceased, the nominal transmission voltage has been restored and the line has stabilized for some seconds.
Abstract:
A surge reset circuit (200) used to automatically reset a surge protection circuit within a telephone line interface circuit. A sensor (300) (e.g., a zenering device) advantageously generates a voltage level representing current draining out of the transient voltage suppression portion of the surge protection circuit after a transient energy surge. If the current is draining, which may indicate a potential lockup situation, feedback circuitry (305) generates a reset feedback signal that is provided to a cutoff device (330). The cutoff device, in response to receiving the feedback signal, disables a current limiter portion of the surge protection circuit to reduce the current draining from the transient voltage suppression portion. As the current level is reduced, the transient voltage suppression portion will reset when the current drops below a threshold value or is substantially eliminated. As a result, the feedback circuitry removes the reset feedback signal from the cutoff device to re-enable the current limiter (34).
