ABSTRACT:
In response to spurious signals in a circuit connecting telecommunications equipment with a serving central office, the signals will pass through terminals of a protector module and through a protector unit inserted in the circuit causing a lead pellet to melt or the air gap between carbon blocks to short and establish a path to ground so that the spurious signals may be grounded. When the protector unit is removed from the protector module, the circuit remains grounded until the protector unit is replaced. Alternatively, when the protector unit is removed, the electrical path of the circuit is opened by introducing an insulator in the path of signals between the terminals. In one embodiment, in the open circuit condition, unusually high voltages arc over from the protector terminals to a metallic pin and then to ground.
