CT3B1S/HD
Asymmetrical Operation

 

 

 

Description:

The CT3BS/HD "Heavy Duty" series of 5 pin solid state protector modules are designed to provide "Heavy Duty" transient and power fault protection for most standard telephone line applications. A specially designed semiconductor substrate offers substantially higher surge current handling capability and meets the requirements of Bellcore TR-NWT-001089, "First and Second Level Lightning Surge Test." The characteristics of the solid state protector are far superior to gas tube technology in speed of response to faults and are virtually immune to overshoot, aging, and repeated tripping within rated limits. Nominal breakdown voltage for the CT3B1S/HD is 300V.

Where extra protection against over current or "sneak current" conditions is desired, PTC or "self resetting" polymer fused versions are available.

Application:

The CT3B1S/HD "Heavy Duty Series" are well suited to applications with building entrance terminals as well as central office protectors where extra current handling capability might be required due to higher exposure conditions.
